The '''Association of American Physicians and Surgeons''' (AAPS)<ref>http://www.aapsonline.org</ref> is the oldest active [[conservative]] and [[libertarian]] group in the world.  Founded in 1943, AAPS is a membership-based [[physician]] organization that does not accept funding by [[corporation]]s or [[big government|government]], thereby ensuring AAPS's [[independence]] and nonpartisanship.  It may be the largest physician organization funded virtually entirely by membership dues.  Rival organizations, such as the [[liberal]] leaning [[American Medical Association]] (which endorsed [[ObamaCare]] and [[gun control]]), are funded primarily by revenue from business ventures and payments by [[pharmaceutical]] companies.

For over 60 years AAPS has remained dedicated to the preservation of the [[ethical]] practice of private medicine.  It adheres to the [[Oath of Hippocrates]].  The motto of AAPS is "omnia pro aegroto," which is [[Latin]] for "all for the patient."  AAPS has about 4,000 members, including members in every state and virtually every specialty of medicine.
