With univeral healthcare, doctors across this nation will be on more than a budget....they’ll be on the government payroll. They’ll be able to thank their “professional association” (AMA) for turning them into their Russian equivalents.

The ones who are still working, you mean.

The AMA is nowhere near a universal professional association. It is a group of politically active liberals, and despised by most of the physicians I know - even some of the libs.

.they’ll be on the government payroll.

And the government will decided the compensation the doctors receive. As they did in the UK,the gov mandated more and more services and offered less compensation in return.

“...they’ll be on the government payroll.”

They won’t be able to afford six-figure malpractice insurance on a gov’t salary.

This could get interesting.

Very few even join AMA now days, it speaks for a small percentage of doctors and some of the offshoot organizations in 17 states are fighting back against the AMA endorsement from yesterday.
