Please see this web page with a listing of 2008 Presidential Candidates' Health Care Positions (http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/policy/federal/presidentialrace/positions.html)

Ron Paul is not listed.

Here are the Alexa traffic stats for the site: www.aafp.org (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aafp.org)

Should we write to them?

I'd noticed that about each of the blurbs on the candidates. I knew it wasn't the AMA, which is why I didn't immediately send something to them. I'd rather get input from other supporters before diving into something.

I wrote this letter and sent it to the ACP and the AMA but didn't hear back.



Is the ACP planning to endorse Dr. Ron Paul or at least inform members about his candidacy? There has never been a greater opportunity to have an advocate in The White House who truly understands what is wrong with our healthcare system. Dr. Paul is against socialized medicine and as an OBGYN understands how government regulation and HMO's impact the practice of medicine. Let's get physicians back to practicing medicine and not jumping through governmental hoops and drowning in paperwork. Most of the mainstream media is working very hard to downplay Dr. Paul's viability as a candidate. He has a platform that both Republican and Democrats can support.

My husband is a member of the ACP. Like many physicians his schedule and dedication to patients doesn't allow him much time to get involved in political or legislative movements. Please bring Dr. Paul's message to his fellow physicians. He is our only hope for a better country and better healthcare system. I challenge you to briefly explore what he stands for and you will see why I have been inspired to support Dr. Paul and work to get the word out. We have had enough lawyers in Washington now is the time to have a physician heal our country.
