Nancy Nielsen, new president of the AMA is busy letting everyone know about her focus for the upcoming year with the AMA, and she relates back to her own experiences. BD
As a graduate student at Catholic University in Washington studying microbiology in the late 1960s, Nancy Nielsen had student health insurance, but the policy excluded family coverage. So she paid out of pocket for pediatric care for her first three children. "It was the only time in my entire adult life that I had to call my parents and ask them to send me money," Nielsen said. Her pediatrician at the time gave her diapers, formula and a box full of antibiotic samples. She said she will be forever grateful for that physician's largesse.
