The AMA actually supports the Unaffordable Care Act. You may recall that disgusting scene in the White House Rose Garden with Obummer at the podium flanked by AMA bigwig doctors. The Won was speaking to the audience of a few white-coated medicos interspersed with White House staffer plants wearing rented white coats sitting ghostly-like in rows of card table chairs while applauding as the Usurper babbled on about his proposed unconstitutional legislation.
In fairness, the majority of doctors don't belong to the AMA, and in speaking to the ones I know, they're against ObamaCare AND they don't like the AMA, either.......but as an effective activist group they're useless.
They're "too busy", woefully politically-naive about the hitoric socialist/marxist agenda, somewhat disdainfully "above the fray"......plus they're real Chicken Littles when it comes to actually fighting in the trenches like we plebian cannon-fodder troops do when the trumpet sounds.

“The Obamacare Revolt: Physicians Fight Back Against the Bureaucratization of Health Care”
“Direct primary care,” which is the industry term for Neuhofel’s business model, does away with the bureaucratic hassle of insurance, which translates into much lower prices... This model is growing in popularity. Leading practitioners of direct primary care include Seattle, Washington-based Qliance, which has raised venture capital funding from Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, and comedian (and Reason Foundation Trustee) Drew Carey; MedLion, which is about to expand its business to five states; and AMG Medical Group, which operates several offices in New York City. Popular health care blogger Dr. Rob Lamberts has written at length about his decision to dump his traditional practice in favor of this model.

As I have said before, the Stalinists have infiltrated all our traditional institutions [AARP, AMA, church, education...] and they now line up against their previous self-serving members. Pay no attention to that doctor in front of that curtain...
Within ten years most of today's wonder meds will be off the market [and few if any new ones], either by govt fiat or by litigious lawyers, and most of our doctors will be of foreign origin without having to qualify for the same standards as our present doctors; hospitals will no longer have many private or semi-private rooms; waiting lists for specialists and procedures will beyond most folks' needs. ...etc., etc., etc.
Already today many meds, even generic, are getting harder and harder to get.
