Two years ago there was a big stink over the medical issue. The AMA threatened to remove the license of ANY doctors discriminating against any groups involved. There was a short piece on it on MSNBC's web site. I've heard no follow up on it since. I think the folks on outpost Gallifrey were following the story and posted links about it. It sort of disappeared after, and I've been wondering if anyone has been sued over it. Basically the law was written so that a Doctor didn't need to treat a person whose moral values DIDN’T fit his or her own (they added religion to it as well). It was pushed by the Catholic diocese in Michigan when a catholic doctor didn’t want to treat a gay patient. If you can find out anything more about it, I would love to know if ANYTHING changed after they were put under the gun by the AMA, who basically said they were breaking the Hippocratic oath.
