Anybody who knows anything about the Constitution knows that the Electoral College was a major compromise to form the union. Smaller states were fearful of larger states totally "running the show." The Constitution has a built-in mechanism for change. Obviously, any attempt to circumvent that mechanism is truly the definition of "Un-American"!!Oct 7th, 2014Someone from Mount Laurel, NJ signed.

For decades, physician leaders in the AFMS have deliberately and willfully discriminated against non-physicians for selection to the most senior jobs, including general officer jobs, and stepping stone jobs making someone competitive for flag rank. It's been an overt effort to keep non-physicians from the most senior jobs, even if the non-physician was more qualified. The "professional apartheid" has negatively impacted professional groups, and demographic groups, including women and minorities. In fact, the AFMS violates DoD and the AF's own diversity rules. In the 1991 National Defense Auth Act, congress issued the following directive (aka federal law) to all the military services: "None of the funds appropriated in this Act may be used to fill the commander's position at any military medical facility with a medical doctor unless the prospective candidate is a trained professional (healthcare) administrator. To keep physicians in power, the AFMS response to this directive was to create a 2-week seminar, which introduces the attendee to a superficial overview of administrative/business topics in a medical enterprise. At the seminars conclusion, the attendee is deemed "a trained professional administrator". As a comparison, the credentials considered to be the standard for a trained professional healthcare administrator include a masters degree in administration, several years experience, then sitting for a board certification exam certifying the person is competent as a healthcare executive. Its the equivalent of a physicians credentials for their specialty. In the decades since, AFMS physician leaders continued to manipulate the career track structure in the AFMS to prevent non-docs from attaining the most senior jobs, all of which are administrative. Eventually, the AF leadership ensured all 4 of the non-physician Corps had one star for the senior person in each of those Corps. The other dozen general billets have been jealously protected by physicians, though there is no requirement for the incumbent to be a doc. Additionally, AFMS physicians abandoned diversity in their own Corps (medical corps). No physician women on active duty have ever been selected for flag rank, and only one African American physician achieved flag rank, in the mid-1990s. Its been an all-white mens club since inception of the AF. All the other AFMS officer corps have had women and/or minorities achieve flag rank, for the sole billet each has at flag rank. How does this impact the tax payer? The AFMS currently has about 600 clinical professionals in administrative jobs. The hundreds of physicians in those jobs are still getting their $80K+ professional bonuses, even though theyre not in patient-care roles. Meanwhile, the AFMS has to hire contract and/or civil service docs to fill blue-suit physician vacancies, or, send the patients downtown for care. So you, the tax payers, are paying the nearly $200K in salary/bonusREPORT COMMENTS
