Doctors supporting Socialized Medicine is like chickens voting for Col. Sanders!!
The bureaucrats are supporting the ending of ‘fee for service’. I assume that means paying health care providers a lump sum like they do in France and Canada.
Health care providers get paid the same whether they work 5 days or 2 days. Guess which schedule they choose. No wonder the wait for a specialist is so long there.
Did it take you that long to discover that the AMA is a socialist organization? If your physician is a member of the AMA I would suggest that you change her or him.
It’s my understanding that only about 19% of doctors belong or believe in the AMA.

"Yes, American medicine is fragmented. We are not represented by one uniform society. Less than 15% of us belong to the AMA and yet the media and your administration continue to speak as if the AMA speaks for all of us. It does not. Although its member physicians have made tremendous contributions to medical advances and patient care, the corporate organization of the AMA is a part of the problem, not a part of the solution"

I think I read that only 17% of active physicians are members of the AMA? Seems like if those docs want this so badly, they could come up with the $300,000.
FUMS and your AMA minions.
My doctor says differently, maybe because he is actually a caring doctor that still acts like one, always available as is my very caring hospital and staff.
If you have insurance now you get service immediately. They shouldn’t have to give service to anyone who doesn’t have insurance and anyone who doesn’t have insurance will soon learn the hard way when Zero makes them pay out the nose for it or be fined out the nose.
With bummer’s government run heath fiasco you may or may not get service in a timely manner, if you get it at all even if you have insurance.
If you’re sick you want help now. There can’t be anything good with this government run crap that they’re deep throating us with.
Yes, and everybody who has seen a doctor in the past 3 months has probably heard how terrible the bills are. My laser eye doctor certainly wasn't looking forward to this thing passing.
Really? Who ever heard of "Doctors for America"? It's probably a new AstroTurf group made up of a small number of physicians and even non-physicians who sign up to make the numbers appear larger than they are. The "dozen of other physicians groups"? What are their names? The guess here is that they are just "dummy" groups fabricated for Obama's health care initiative. "Representing 500,000 doctors"? No way. The figure was probably made up out of thin air, or arrived at by adding purported membership totals of all the "dummy" groups, groups which probably had a great overlap in participation so that the same doctor would be counted in the total multiple times in order to vastly inflate the total. Even the AMA itself represents less than 20% of practicing physicians today, and many (if not most) of those members do not support the pro-ObamaCare position of the AMA leadership.
So, all in all, Mitch Stewart has, for clearly political reasons, grossly overestimated the support of for "reform" (i.e., socialized medicine) within the medical profession. Hardly surprising. Lies, fraud, and deception are just standard operating procedure for the Left as it aims to enslave America to ever expansive government.
Your doctor friend is correct.
