Actively defeating MOC and the ABMS monster!

How to defeat the MOC pirates in your back yard:
1) Get involved in your state medical society-the very largest one!
2) Change your Med Exec bylaws to prohibit  MOC or Certification (as this will always expire per ABMS new rules) as  requirement for membership! CMS is on your side!:

Those in hospital bound specialties simply need to change the medical staff requirements to eliminate certification as a requirement-if that even exists! Federal CMS guidelines prohibit board certification as a sole criteria to prohibit membership-this is anticompetitive! 
According to CMS: 
§482.12(a)(7) Ensure that under no circumstances is the accordance of staff 
membership or professional privileges in the hospital dependent solely upon certification, fellowship or membership in a specialty body or society.
