Koby,
I certainly understand your decision to flip em the bird. Some do that based on principle, and many of us make a calculation (is the pay cut worth the time and expense to "participate").
And yes, to some extent the horse is out of the barn, but I the battle goes on. I know that the people at AC have grappled with this issue for years - at least since the onset of MU - and that they continue to do so. I think they have been relatively successful; just compare an AC note to one from Epic or Cerner.
Generally I am not a big believer that our medical societies represent us well. This paper describes the situation clearly and as it says, we must keep reminding AC that "the functions needed by clinicians and their patients take priority over nonclinical requirements".
