AMA Outlines Views on Achieving President’s Health Reform Goals
In an April 13 letter sent to President Barack Obama, the AMA provided its perspective on achieving the eight health system reform goals outlined in Obama’s budget proposal to Congress. Those goals include: (1) protecting families’ financial health, (2) making health coverage affordable, (3) aiming for universality, (4) providing portable coverage, (5) guaranteeing choice, (6) investing in prevention and wellness, (7) improving patient safety and quality, and (8) maintaining long-term fiscal sustainability.
In the letter, the AMA highlighted the impact that liability has on health care costs, the importance of building on the current employer-based system to promote individual choice and ownership of health insurance, and removing antitrust barriers to quality improvement efforts.

He discusses common acute fractures of the pelvis and the classification, presentation, and diagnosis of hip-slipped capital femoral epiphysis and its association with Trendelenburg gait in adolescents. The lecture also covers Osgood-Schlatter's disease and concludes with a discussion of pediatric ankle injuries, especially of how Salter fractures of the distal tibia and the distal fibula are recognized and treated.
