Why did Perot run against Bush? His company was a huge Medicare computer services provider and Clinton’s health plan would have been a boon. Why did AMA support Obamacare? They own the medical codes used for billing by insurance companies and the government, and stand to make billions on expanded use of those codes.

If you don't mid the hassle can you get perpetual obamacare for free by signing ưp and not paying the bill then signing up again at the end of the "grace period?"

Most drs. do not belong to the AMA, so this sounds like a much larger endorsement than it was. The same for lawyers. Most do not belong to the bar assn. that supports Dems. We have a dr. and a lawyer in the family. They argue all the time (the lawyer knows everything and is glad to tell everyone so), but neither supports Obama.
Unfortunately, this provision hurts the non-supporting drs. as well as the ones who supported him.If only the supporting AMA drs. were hurt, one could sit back and laugh; however, this provision will impact all drs. and ultimately affect patient care for the worse.

Never joined. All the better. But those who made that mistake need to fix it when the offense becomes glaring - as it did with AMA's support for ObamaCare.

Doctors are being set up to be the fall guys... Oh, puleeez-the AMA was one of obamas biggest a$$ kissers in the lead up to passage. They got what they wanted.(or didnt want since they believed the LIAR in chief)
The AMA represents only about 20% of physicians. Most doctors did not support Obamacare.

The American Medical Association is basically a union. Very few doctors agree with their stance on this issue.

Everyday Unions backed Obamacare too - the rank and file? Not so much. Same with the AMA union...

“The AMA represents only about 20% of physicians. Most doctors did not support Obamacare. “
In that case, where’s the organization and lobby that supports the other 80%?

Unfortunately there is no national organization that represents the other 80% as doctors are too busy and not smart enough to effectively lobby, particularly aginst the AMA who gets most of its funding from the government.
Who does the AMA Really Represent?
What Do Actual Doctors Think About Obamacare Now?
