CHICAGO, ILL. (AP) -- The American Medical Association has a message for President Barack Obama as he convenes a last-ditch health care summit.

AMA President James Rohack says the nation's largest doctors' group won't accept a stalemate.

He spelled out the AMA's concerns in a letter shared with Obama and congressional leaders before Thursday's bipartisan summit.

Rohack reiterated the AMA's support for insurance reforms and reducing costs. And he also emphasized the AMA's long-standing push for medical liability reforms.

Obama is meeting with Republicans and Democrats at the Blair House, across the street from the White House.

The summit is being televised live.
