Actually liberal doctors are beginning to realize that as state employees they will stop making bank and become like Cuba’s doctors.
Liberalism is fine for the other guy. But when they come for your Mercedes and summer house, it is time to stop.
Get ready to get axed if you have something difficult to treat.
Get ready for docs to have fewer resources.
Fuggedabout any doc ever taking time with you. A lot of time. Especially the small office doc.
And so, are you drinking Corona yet? I’ll join ya.
Wasn’t the AMA or some group of ‘concerned’ doctors running ads for socialized medicine during the campaign? Looks like reality and unintended consequences have slapped them upside the head.
If the AMA doesn’t get behind Obamacare, I don’t see how this is going to pass.
Spread this around, email to your friends!! Awesome Rush!

I just used this as a basis for an email to both my senators.....
But, it feels so good Ethyl
Let the AMA statement be the final nail in ostammercare. Docs know this is a lose-lose for themselves and their patients.
Yada, yada, yada, they will do whatever the he!! they want, now that they seem to have the Supreme Court, supporting his crazy takeover of Auto companies.

The AMA has drifted left over the years, so this move is a bit surprising, but it is VERY good news for our side, or anyone else who doesn’t want a public option (aka full-blown socialist medicine).
From the NY Times article
“Under a proposal favored by many Democrats, doctors who take Medicare patients would also have to participate in the new public plan. Democrats say that requirement is needed to make sure the public plan can go into business right away with a large network of doctors.”

Watch the number of doctors accepting Medicare drop dramatically if this happens.
I was just up at our neighborhood post office and of course it was under staffed with a long line. Well the bantering between customers and the two workers got going with them on the defensive. During a break in the conversations I spoke up and said, “just wait, soon the post office will be running our health care.” Oh wow what a outburst by just everyday people. I heard Obama called everything but president and his plans in terms that would make a sailor blush. There were several gentlemen apologizing to ladies in the line...with replies of no need, I agree. It was fun.
These nitwits suported the President in his run for office.
What’s their problem?
Wow. I guess they got an earful from their membership. Last I heard, the AMA was supporting Obamedicine.
First of all, the AMA is a shrinking base of doctors (only 25 percent of doctors nationwide belong). Check out what the other 75% of physicians (and nurses and medical students) are doing: www.pnhp.org
I love a good debate but I don’t like being patronized. With a private option, we would actually regain doctor-patient autonomy. (HMOs, PPOs choose the doctor & hospital for you now.) Secondly, 31 cents on every dollar goes toward administration (we have more billing clerks than nurses; something is wrong with that picture!) Eliminating the middlemen, the insurance bureaucracy, would more than pay for health care coverage for all Americans.
