And The Answer Is……
Yesterday I asked you what year do think the AAFP said this:
“We are committed to working with CMS to further develop and implement physician-led, primary care focused models that increase participation in value-based care and payment models,” said the AAFP.
The responses I got here, and on FB, were:
- 1996
- 2004
- 2007
- 2008
- 2009
- 2010
And the answer is:
October 15th, 2018
That’s right. Three weeks ago.
That’s the organization who represents a large amount of family docs. And they are “all in” on the same stuff that got us where we are today.
“Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.”
35 months till Medicare age and I’m gone. Financial advisor said I was in good shape.
I doubt there is much early retirement going on with FP’s unless they’re able to marry
a spouse with a better job that their spouse likes and can get on his or her medical insurance.
Just remember… There is no sex in the champagne room.

The only organization more worthless than the AAFP is the AMA. I only keep membership to help with CME and all the other BS needed to maintain board certification. I only keep board certification because the hospital and insurance companies require it.
Deja vu all over again.

Second question:
What year did the AAFP give the membership a well-reasoned, evidence based explanation of their unquestioning support for “value-based” payment?
Answer:
Never. They know their position is indefensible and they’re too embarrassed to admit that they’re only the toadying butt-boys for CMS and insurers.
