From the site above:

UNITED PHYSICIANS is a novel physician association that uses today’s technology to create “participatory” instead of “representative” governance. All meetings are held openly, on the internet.

Every member will vote on every issue. Advocacy projects must be supported by at least two thirds of members to move forward. There are no delegates, no representatives, and no “board.”

Will they teach me plumbing and electrical too? I am a little weak in those areas.

Welding for me. MIG ok, TIG terrible.

Welding is a very valuable skill to have. I really admire people who can do that well.

From talking to patients about it, it's apparently fun, rewarding, and popular.

Seems like another lame interest group lobbying for everything except the one thing we desperately need, any kind of free market reform.

Yep- One of my hobbies is restoring Woodie cars. I can do the mechanical, wood, and body work, but have hired out my welding. I may consider picking up that skill, as most of the auto welding is spot welds for floor pans and putting in patch sheet metal, thus the integrity of the weld is not critical.

Looking to pick up a 41 international Woodie that is a basket case. Those things usually take me about four years to complete, but they are pretty cool when you are done. Lots of router work required and patience; if you don't have patterns, you are in trouble.

Perhaps the physicians union could train me in welding so I could acquire that skill. If so, they would probably make me do "MOCA minutes" for severals years after training and bill me a few hundred bucks a year.
