Yhe AMA donated 56% of its funds in the campaign to Obama, they backed him just a bit more than his competition. And the AMA is walking a tightrope, CONGRESS determines what Doctors get in Medicare Payments..... yea, who has who by the balls, that much is definitely up in the air.

If the doctors are too aggressive in fighting the public plan, they risk alienating Democrats whose support they need for legislation to increase their Medicare fees.

OK, I get it. Either support low payments through the guise of Medicare or support a higher percentage of low payments through the guise of government-run healthcare. Brilliant.

What a joke. The Dems goal is to ELIMINATE Medicare through a one-payer system so for the AMA to supposedly "need" the Dems support is simply dangerous to their ethical and monetary health.
