So where the heck were all these doctors when Obamacare was being debated?

I also remember that doctors were not silent. Many threatened to retire if Obamacare becomes law, and there was even some poll, IIRC, that proved that. However members of the public were shouted down by the likes of Pelosi. Input from below was not of interest; Obama and his henchmen were on a mission.

Practitioners were never asked for their opinions by the dummocraps. The bill was written by Soros think tank wonks in consultation with--among others--lefty doc academics. The AMA went along with it as did big pharma and AARP. They were all bought off.

I was an AMA member when Obamacare passed; I called the AMA that day and spoke to a young woman who was reading from a script. She followed up with a multi-page email (I wish I had saved it) with gobbledy-gook.

I cancelled my membership that day. As mad as I was with their stance on Oblahblah care, I was INCENSED about their beyond dreadful response to me.

Now their latest ploy (via emails that I still get) is that they are fighting O-care...yeccchhh.
