I am intentionally NOT a member of the AMA as it is most certainly fascist. However, you give it far more credit than it deserves as a force destroying the free market in medicine. It is not the AMA, but the US Government, with all its minions including the several United States of America, who hold the market hostage by illegally confiscating tax money and refusing to return it unless States “comply,” which by force has distorted the free market in medicine. And by insurance regulations. And by deceptions like taxing most medical expenses unless an employer provides them. The AMA is just a weak little pawn of those fascists. Any supposed lack of doctors and lack of hospitals because of regulation of medical schools and hospitals (again not done by the AMA, but by the Feds and coerced states) is not what makes medical costs high anyway.
The good guys (who by the way, include me as a member) sued Hillary and her secret task force in 1993 and were the most important medical organization in opening eyes about the Rat fascist plans are the AAPS (Association of American Physicians and Surgeons). Check out the AAPS for a Freep-o-licious breath of fresh air.
Controlling physicians is widely acknowledged to be more difficult than herding cats, and it drive the fascists crazy, and thank goodness, or else fascism in medicine would be much further advanced, and you would be scapegoating physicians and hospitals even more inappropriately.
Remember Section 4507 of the 1997 Balance Budget Act on hillary’s health care?
