Only 15-20% of doctors belong to the AMA

Democrats have been wildly misleading people about where doctors stand on ObamaCare. After bribing his way into AARP and AMA endorsements, Obama has been treating them as the final word on the matter and ramping up the partisan smears against his opponents.

But what he is characteristically leaving out is that only about 15-20% of doctors actually belong to the AMA and the vast majority of doctors actually reject ObamaCare.

From National Review:

"...92 percent of doctors don’t think the Democratic bills address the “real sources of cost increases,” and 94 percent don’t think there can be “effective” health reform without tort reform (which the Republican bill includes but the Democratic bills do not)."

45% of doctors even say they will quit practicing medicine if ObamaCare is passed.

They are losing membership fast. I know a number of doctors who have sent in letters canceling their membership over this Obama Marxism.
