Medical Group Backs Health Care System Overhaul

Jen, you are so correct. The AMA doesn't speak for doctors anymore than AARP speaks for senior citizens. They don't advocate for seniors, they take their money in insurance premiums with their supplemental insurance plans. Obama bought them by promising the highly competitive Medicare Advantage Program would dissolve under this "reform." AARP stands to gain BILLIONS, even as their members are leaving by the thousands. The corruption on this bill, and in this entire administration is astronomical! The only thing transparent in Washington is the blatant corruption and lies being told in the name of "reforms" and "transformation".

I wouldn't trust the AMA anymore than I trust the government---oh wait, I don't trust anyone!

Having experienced healthcare with a heavy dose of US Government involvement, my suggestion would be to leave the current system alone. There's no evidence it will get any better, and plenty that it will get worse.

The first step in curing yourself from blindly stumbling into support of a system you'll live to regret is to not believe everything those supporting this thing tell you. Talk to people who've had first hand experience, like I have. Better yet, take a trip to your local VA hospital, if you have one. There, you'll see the handiwork of government bureaucrats in the administration of healthcare.

So there's my suggestion. Take me up on it, then come on back and tell me you're all in favor of turning your healthcare over to your government. At least at that point when you come to regret your mistake several years from now, you can't say you didn't have an opportunity to see it coming.
