The New York chapter of the American Medical Association is calling for legislation that would stop insurers and employers from offering health plans that promote treatment in Mexico. The International Medical Travel Journal writes that the call comes despite legal advice that such legislation would possibly be illegal and would be likely to be unworkable anyway.
