“doctors were vocal about their concerns”
Some individual doctors expressed concerns but their professional association and lobbying arm the AMA was 100% behind Obamacare. The media and Democrats touted the support of doctors due to the AMA endorsement. All the uninformed voters heard was that doctors favored the plan.

True; it was pitched well with deceit. Individual doctors were already having a hard time making a go of it, and they (along with anyone with a brain) could see that the only way to cover older, less healthy people was to drive prices up for all. While the “insurance industry” backed ObamaCare as well, many workers in the field knew it didn’t bode well for them (as working peons).
