White House Asks Doctors To Push For Reform
As the health care debate has worn on, President Obama has looked to elected officials, interest groups and his campaign volunteers for help in pushing reform. Now he's hoping for another band of advocates: doctors.
On a conference call Tuesday night, White House health advisers prodded about 3,000 physicians and health industry professionals to take a more active role in promoting health care reform, the AP reports. A pamphlet sent out to doctors before the call suggested they host town hall meetings and hospital tours or hold a whole "Health Insurance Reform Week." The conference call included members of the American College of Physicians and the American College of Surgeons and was similar to ones held earlier this summer with nurses and senior citizens, the article reports.

First of all, there were 1900 ;physicians who participated, not 3,000. Second, it was a complete waste of time, with an endless monologue full of platitudes about what Obama wanted to accomplish. There was no real input or give and take. IIf this is the best they can do, it's going to go downl. I am, by the way, in favor of the most liberal health care reforms possible. maw
