But do we accomplish what we say we should do?<br /><br />AAFP has a mission, vision, values, and objectives that are consistent with these lofty goals. <br /><br />AAFP has one main deficit - failure for 30 years to increase family medicine residency graduates. <br /><br />To accomplish mission, vision, values, and objectives it takes dedicated specific health access primary care workforce. In blogs and other postings, I have indicated that only family practice that stays family practice can suffice, something only family physicians do - by design (so far).<br /><br />11/2/2011 is a day that will live in infamy in the history of primary care with 27.4% cuts by CMS final rule. An entire decade of damage will result from a short period of time. <br /><br />It is hard to see a way that our government could do more to damage these important access and social determinant principles. Cuts in primary care are cuts in people, services, jobs, and economics in locations most in need of all of these. <br /><br />11/2/2011 represents a direct assault upon the mission,vision, values, and objectives of AAFP and the life's work of all dedicated to health access primary care. Sadly it represents Medicare turned against the elderly who are 2 to 3 times more in need of primary are. Sadly it represents an Obama health plan that boasts the importance of primary care to accomplish its goals, but cuts primary care spending and primary care workforce. 11/2/2012 represents the antithesis of economic recovery for most Americans as primary care is the most important health spending impact in 30,000 zip codes where 65% of Americans reside.Bob Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345017195665837451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509187841033628660.post-39804442588201026772011-11-02T06:10:55.153-07:002011-11-02T06:10:55.153-07:00From Alex Scott-Samuel in the UK:

There was a very interesting interview with him on our Radio 4 yesterday - it's here, though I think you may not be able to access it in the US:<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016ld4q<br /><br />Recently Michael was one of nearly 500 public health practitioners who signed a letter (attached) to members of our House of Lords asking them to block a government bill which will turn our NHS into a commercial market. This was brave of him and the rumours are that he has since had lots of pressure from the government.Josh Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248920527894775520noreply@blogger.com
