“We believe health care is a human right, maybe more so than past generations,” said Dr. Brad Zehr, a 29-year-old pathology resident at Ohio State University, who" chose a residency and specialty that has minimal patient contact, little in the way of overnight call responsibilities, and that is hospital-based, and thus is one of the specialties that would be least negatively impacted by single payer. I have less than zero respect for the AMA.

'Activist' organizations like the AMA often attract narcissists and people with an agenda who don't represent the views of the majority of those they seek to represent. As an example, when I was a medical student we received for free a publication from the American Medical Student Association (AMSA).

I remember some of the articles, because they were extreme, including articles about 'fisting' and other non-mainstream stuff that had nothing to do with being a medical student. There was also a very significant amount of gay advocacy literature. I don't care what people do with their personal lives, and I don't want to know what people do in their private lives. That said, this was 'in your face' activism, and was very off-putting. Some of these activists are now likely populating the AMA and other medical organizations - thus their non-representative platforms.
