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.

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.

Kudos to the AMA’s courage! Makes me feel like giving a donation.

I agree, but let’s never underestimate the media’s ability to squelch or smear andy entity speaking against the messiah.

I agree. This is good news indeed, not withstanding the NY Slimes attempt to minimize the AMA, if they don't get behind it, it ain't gonna pass.

I work in the healthcare field and I only know of 1 physician (a dentist) that supports a national government subsidized policy...only 1.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes, they were. They must have seen the light. I want to know when the AARP is going to realize that nationalized health care is a way to eliminate the sick and elderly?
