Dr. Malik, did YOU (or your colleagues) actually read this legislation -- or
the letter from the College?  Speaking only of the latter, it seemed
thorough and thoughtful to me.

Perhaps you have more enlightened and ingenious solutions in mind.  Sad,
then, that rather than participating in the debate, you've opted to keep
everything but your complaints to yourself.

Be aware though: you leave the appearance that like most Americans, you
simply have nothing to offer but the status quo, which has always sufficed
for you.  Yet the status quo will not stand.  

There are difficult decisions ahead, and it will take a bit of courage to
make them.

I have been a loyal and happy member of the American College of Surgeons.
I work in Los Angeles at a upscale trauma center.   We in California
understand managed care and a tight economy for the state going broke.     

Many of us are very disappointed in the letter from the American College of
Surgeons supporting HR 3200.   Did anyone at the ACS actually read this
legislation?    

I am thinking of resigning my membership in the ACS because this letter does
not represent me.   Obviously those in Chicago at the ACS do not understand
our practices here and the needs of the surgeons and our patients.   

Mohamed
