AMA: Take caution with medical tourism

In a letter to the Chicago Tribune, members of the American Medical Association clarify that "the information attributed to the American Medical Association in the article 'For big surgery, Delhi is dealing' is not from an official AMA policy report. While medical tourism is an emerging issue, and one we plan to take a deeper look into at our annual policymaking meeting in June, we have no official policy on it at this point." The letter continues by saying "a higher priority for the AMA is working to determine what changes need to be made to the U.S. healthcare system so we can continue to treat patients at home.
