AMA endorsement has group split – Live Pulse – POLITICO.com
I don’t know one doctor, nurse or health care worker who is for the government run health care program. Now I am only one person but I do know a fair share of medical personel and I have discussed this with them. But you see, the AMA no more represents doctors than AARP represents the elderly or NEA National Education Association represents teachers. All have evolved into businesses in and of themselves and and their sole goal is to perpetuate themselves so their leaders can pull down large salaries and glad hand with the elites in Washington from time to time. All have forgotten their roots and just why their organization was originally formed. AARP lost at last count 60,000 members just since July and I expect them to lose a whole lot more after this endorsement.
the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of
Neurological Surgeons announced their opposition to the House bill today.“Sadly, in the ongoing health care reform debate, the more things change, the more they stay the same. We could not support H.R. 3200, the ‘America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,’ which was introduced in the House last July and unfortunately, we must now oppose this new House bill too. It contains no significant changes or improvements when it comes to the issues we believe are vital for true health care reform in this country,” said AANS president Troy Tippett.
Some AMA members are upset that the association plowed forward with an endorsement ahead of their meeting this weekend in Houston. Also grumbling about the AMA’s endorsement are state medical associations in Ohio, Illinois, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, the official said.
Former AMA president Stormy Johnson is preparing a resolution to rescind the endorsement, sources said. And the surgeons are introducing a resolution that would call on the AMA to actively oppose any legislation that includes a public option or a temporary doc fix o
Wow loved reading this blogpost. I submitted your rss to my google reader.
Thank you SomoJilmlal. AARP is endorsing the Obamacare bill because it will get rid of Medicare Advantage as a supplement to Medicare which a larger proportion of seniors have than have the AARP supplemental insurance. Sooooo with Medicare Advantage out of the way the AARP plan will reign supreme. AARP has evolved into an insurance company you see.
