Reply #10: I'm part of the AMA but only b/c it helps me get a good rate on disability insurance... [View All]

in case I get sick or injured.

However, I am also part of PNHP.ORG

I support single payer health care.

The AMA is not monolithic, there's a lot of reasons docs are in it.

However, the AMA (and most medical groups) is led by a bunch of dickheads in ivory towers.

Burn it down I say...but let me find a competitive rate on disability insurance first :)

On the other hand, the reason why the AMA and medical community has any influence, is because of rich procedural specialists.

Don't blame us community family docs. Most of us want single payer.

It's your rich asshole supspecialists that want to keep things the way they are, because they make shitloads of money doing procedures.

I guess I could have worded this all more politely, but lately I'm just not in the mood. If you are dickhead or an asshole, or married to one, deal with it.
