AMA in Revolt Over Obamacare
This isn’t surprising since all the doctors I’ve met are so mad they are withholding their dues. The Wife has not renewed this year over the issue, ending 7 years of membership. What I find particularly nasty is the gutting of Medicaid payments to doctors to help pay for it. Doctors are already refusing to take Medicare/Medicaid patients (it’s illegal for them to stop treating them without finding them another doctor) due to the pittance they receive for their services (discussed at length here).
My gut tells me that the AMA’s trustees will suppress the revolt and continue backing the plan, but they’ve created a rift in the ranks that will not easily heal.

You’re not with the program are you? Once Obamacare is passed and Obama does a Napoleon and declares himself Emperor, he will not stop at healing the oceans he will use his Imperial Powers to heal the people as well, doctors will no longer be needed.
