First of all I would like to thank you for your valuable time, AMA's are one of my favorite parts of reddit. And this one seems right up my alley. I am a former Army Medic, currently working at a FQHC as a Behavioral Health Care Manager, while going to school hoping to eventually attain a degree in Healthcare Administration. One of the more interesting things I recently learned was how the American Medical Association created propaganda campaigns against universal health care likening it to Nazi socialism, largely hampering America's ability to keep up with other Western Countries healthcare systems. How do you see the AMA currently playing a role in the US health system debate? I understand if you can't answer due to conflict of interest. My second question is what do you think can be done about the huge disparities in Native American health care? Living in Montana and having traveled through many reservations it has not been hard to see they are some of, if not the most, vulnerable patient population in America.

and don't want to see an erosion of the 20 million who have gained health insurance since the ACA coverage provisions kicked in Jan of 2014.

Enough said. Thank you for your time and all the work you do to improve America's healthcare.
