When BO says the AMA is on board with health care reform (HCR) this is what you need to know.
First, only 20% of doctors are AMA members, 80% are not.
Second, if you divide doctors into two groups, there are private practice/clinicians and academicians (who don't see patients). Clinicians are on the front lines treating patients. Clinicians do not agree with Obamacare.
Dr. John Lundberg was on Fox this a.m. talking about this. He says what the WH says we need for HCR is not needed in the US. There are some reforms needed, but nothing near the total overhaul BO wants. We do not have a "crisis" like the WH tries to make it sound. [This administration likes to invent crises.]
We have the greatest health care system in the world. People from around the world comes here for health care. You never hear BO ever say what's good about our HC system.

I was looking through the House version of the health care bill where someone had listed the really SCARY stuff in it. They cited all the places in the bill where there were dangerous provisions. It's like this administration wants to destroy our country intentionally.
We really need to take this seriously.
As I've posted before, from my job with multiple hospitals for over 20 years, over half the patients who come in do so because they are irresponsible, i.e., alcoholics, drug users, psych patients who won't take their meds and end up hospitalized over and over, etc. They are on SSDI and taxpayers already pay for their health care. I'd like to see actuaries and other stats showing the percentages for this (as well as #s for illegals).
Finally, when you keep hearing that "47 million Americans are uninsured" it's BS. Here's the true breakdown. It's more like 8 million.
Those #s include people who are between jobs, people who make more than $50K a year, illegals, young people who don't want to pay for it, etc.
