"The AMA, of all organizations, should understand the difference between health insurance and health care -- that is, that having insurance doesn't equal access to care. Just as car insurance won't help you if there are no repair shops around, having Medicaid doesn't mean you can find a doctor to take care of you -- and a recent survey shows that more than half of doctors don't accept Medicaid."

The "Siegal" here is found in the original - it's most likely a typo, and should be "Siegel" instead.
