On 12 June 2023, I emailed the president of the American Medical Association, Dr Jack Resneck, regarding recent California legislation:
“I notice that the AMA has been unusually quiet about 2 California bills that have important ramifications for patients, parents, and physicians:
CA Bill AB957- gender affirming care
CA Bill AB2098 – informed consent
AB2098 is still being contested in the courts, I believe. With AMA’s multiple public statements regarding government overreach in health care regarding reproductive rights, it appears unusual that the AMA hasn’t weighed in one way or the other on either bill. They have substantial impact on US healthcare.”
