AMA statement on Title X gag rule and funding restrictions

| 2 Min Read

Statement attributable to:
Barbara L. McAneny, M.D.
President, American Medical Association

“This rule interferes with and imposes restrictions on the patient-physician relationship. For all intents and purposes, it imposes a gag rule on what information physicians can provide to their patients. The patient-physician relationship relies on trust, open conversation and informed decision making and the government should not be telling physicians what they can and cannot say to their patients.
