AMA's Endorsement of House Health Care Bill Sparks Internal Uprising - AMA to Reverse Health Care Bill Endorsement?
CB
Some AMA members are outraged that the group's trustees made the endorsement
without the formal approval of the organization's House of Delegates.
The American Medical Association's much-touted endorsement of the House
health care reform bill has triggered a revolt among some members who want
the endorsement withdrawn.
Some members are outraged that the group's trustees made the endorsement
without the formal approval of the organization's House of Delegates.
On Monday, delegates will vote on a resolution offered by some members that,
if approved, will withdraw the AMA's endorsement of the bill.
President Obama cited the endorsement of the influential AMA, along with
AARP's, in a surprise appearance Thursday in the White House briefing room
as he attempted to beat back criticism that the bill would gut Medicare.
"They're endorsing this bill because they know it will strengthen Medicare,
not jeopardize it," he told reporters. "They know it will protect the
benefits our seniors receive, not cut them."
"So I want everyone to remember that the next time you hear the same tired
arguments to the contrary from insurance companies and their lobbyists and
remember this endorsement the next time you see a bunch of misleading ads on
television," he added.

Not only will the medical socialists henceforth seize complete dominion over
who will and will not receive care, but the very manner in which such
statism is imposed will serve as a model for the complete eradication of
freedom from every aspect of life in this country.

going to make them billions then they would. When medicare is stripped
of hundreds of billions of dollars in services the slack will be picked
up by insurance supplements . Guess who makes 300 million a year on
medicare supplement insurance ?

The problem is that the insurance supplements do not "pick up the slack".
They only pay the deductable on the Medicare allowable. If Medicare cuts
allowable payments, the doctors will have to absorb the loss of stop
treating Medicare patients.
I would expect that under obamacare, many older doctors will retire rather
than see 10 patients per hour. Obama will have to import doctors from third
world countries to "pick up the slack". Anyone want to see their
neighborhood witch doctor for a heart bypass operation?

grab. Fluff for the sheep to lie on after grazing. this will cost
millions of jobs and doctors will be hard to come by. Very long waits
for any treatment.
