AMA Votes To Oppose ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Policy
Last week, the American Medical Association voted to pass resolutions stating that prohibitions on same-sex marriages contribute to health disparities and to oppose the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Paul Wertsch, a physician and member of AMA's Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and Transsexual task force, said the votes were not a political statement but instead were focused on addressing inequalities in health care.
