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 corporations or government, thereby ensuring AAPS's independence.  It may be the largest physician organization funded virtually entirely by membership dues.  Rival organizations, such as the American Medical Association, are funded primarily by revenue from business ventures and payments by pharmaceutical companies.
