AMA supports health care bill

[alan1]

You should strive to keep your stereotyping in check, actually. I know it's hard for a wingnut, but one can always improve their cognitive ability.

Improve yours.

just another lobbyist group....

Bingo. People think that to be a dr. you have to be a member of the AMA, and therefore the AMA represents the whole medical world.

WRONG. The AMA is simply a place for like-minded, political drs. to hang out.

AARP also supports Obama's Eugenics Program.

I wonder how happy the elderly will be when they start having their friends die while waiting for Obama to approve procedures, medicines and treatments?

I'm glad AARP is willing to sacrifice the elderly for the Democrat Party.

Do you have any other idiocies to spew?

A Gallup poll, 17June09.

73% of Americans trust the doctors on a health care sysem.
58% of Americans trust President Obama.
42% of Americans trust the Democratic Party.
34% of Americans trust the Republican Party.

The latter figure is about the same as the number that still trust George W. Bush to tell the truth.

On Healthcare, Americans Trust Physicians Over Politicians

I know. Only a moron trusts people involved in the health services field on healthcare.

Much better to trust a computer technician or Republican lobby group

Does it ever occur to you that people should do their own research?

You do know that "doing your own research" entails reading what other people have advocated for and written, right?

Or shall we all run our own personal comprehensive studies on healthcare reform?

just another lobbyist group....

But it's different, because Ravi agrees with this lobbyist group.

Gee, quite a few folks attacked me for saying the AMA was a lobbying group a couple of days ago. Guess there's been a change in the way cons think of them now that they support the House health bill.

Yeah ... instead of taking one person's word for it you are actually looking at more than one source ... what a strange concept, I know you partisans can't deal with multiple sources, but try it sometime.

Truth of the matter is, the AMA has blocked a lot of actually safe treatments by not "supporting" them, and the FDA followed their wishes, while at the same time endorsing some of the most horrible treatments. Yeah, that sounds like they care ... sure.

The AMA isn't one person. Besides the fact that when dealing with an issue like this, the numerous sources contradict each other. You've chosen to believe some sources, and not others which is fine but don't pretend that you've done it in a reasonable fashion or that the sources you don't believe are somehow flawed.

No, I am going based on what has happened, the facts are there, look for them sometime.

Oh, of course. What has happened. And pray tell, what happened, and according to who?

Anyone that supports a mandatory participation healthcare bill is an idiot, undeserving of his/her Constitutional Rights.

Grown babies still waiting for their "bah-bah", ass wiped and diaper change because they are incapable of fending for themselves.

This has been reported in numerous places, including the Journal of the American Medical Association, so you're not going to get to dodge this by pooh-poohing the source as biased. It's a fact. Deal with it.
The AMA was against Medicare and Medicaid too. They are a huge lobbying group. That's biased.
Lmao....yes the American Medical Association is a right wing PAC....do realize how stupid that sounds?

That explains why doctors don't register as organ donors on their driver's licenses.

They know what other doctors are like.
