Doctors state the Obvious: AMA 'Sold Out Patients and the Profession' with ObamaCare Support
Patriot Room ^ | 7-17-09 | Scott Martin

Posted on 07/17/2009 5:51:38 PM PDT by Scott Martin

The AMA and new President James Rohack sold out its members and its patients with their recent support for ObamaCare. Today the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons called them on it. Boy are they ticked, and who can blame them. This was a bargaining ploy all along.

I’m glad they called them on it. AMA is a sham and a front for Obamacare.

Not surprising really given the AMA’s increasing turn to statist politics. Their disgraceful move has made it abundantly clear that they are anti-doctor and one that does not represent nor advocate for the rights of its members.

Like everyone else, the AMA is only in this thing for the money. No telling what the hell Obama promised them. When you consider that ObamaCare gives the government total control over people’s lives, I’ll bet the price tag was huge. The AMA more than likely really cleaned up on this scam. Just another one of those big “green” things the Marxist ‘RATS are doing WITH OUR “GREEN”.

Thanks for the post and the link to takebackmedicine.com.

I knew most American doctors do NOT favor Zerocare.

Now they need to show some real strength and leave the AMA by the dozens, by the hundreds.

Protest, protest, protest please you good doctors.

Ah, some of them are figuring out that their incomes are going to be capped and non-doctors are going to be telling them what to do. Too late.

A lot of the groups that had previously opposed this kind of thing have either completely flipped or are silent. The insurance companies, the AMA, Harry and Louise. They have been promised something. Just don’t know what and won’t until it is too late.

I never heard of this group - but after some research found that they are the conservative version of the AMA. They have their priorities in the right order - they are against abortion, birth control, medicare, medicade, social security, the fda, mandatory vaccinations and government run health care.

Pretty cool - we’ll see if this press release gets talked about as much as the AMA endorsement did.

They see the writing on the wall with the intimidation tactics of Obama. I’m not surprised that they are jumping on board in hopes that Obama will have mercy on them later.

He would do it regardless of their endorsement or not. They are just lower on the enemies list now. “Get on board or we will screw you”.

Most American doctors are not members of AMA. It is a left wing organization and has been for years. If you want to find out if your doctor is an AMA member, go to this AMA web page:

http://www0.ama-assn.org/apps/captcha/verify.cgi?reason=nocookie&method=GET&url=http://webapps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder/home.jsp

Procede to the next page by inputing the code image. Select the Patient’s button and input the name of your doctor. If he is an AMA member, it will show that way.

Just about none of the doctors I have had in the past 15 years pay dues to the AMA.

Congress: It didn’t take long to run into an “uh-oh” moment when reading the House’s “health care for all Americans” bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal.

Why is the writer claiming it (the sellout) is a “bargaining ploy” ?

Unlike teachers’ unions, the AMA is a representative body, not a highering-limited/wage-setting union.
