Since medical school I, and many other docs have had little respect for the AMA and several other professional associations. The leadership of these is routinely stocked with politically motivated individuals who extract themselves from patient care and are impervious to the policies they support. They are not physician or patient advocates, although they will swear up and down that they are.
That will be interesting because many will remember the not too long ago when it could all be done in one day. Literally. I felt a lump this past November, a week before Thanksgiving. I went to my ob-gyn a few days later. He sent me to the surgeons office that very day. They saw me two days later where she ultrasound the lump (a cyst) and aspirated it right then and there. I was able to enjoy my Thanksgiving worry free. All with in a week.
I am glad it was only a cyst! I was not so fortunate but my problem was handled quickly and that is why I am alive today. Won’t be like that in the near future.
I know they’re not in favor of it; it very openly takes money from their programs. I don’t think the AARP has come out against Obama, though; I’m not sure why they’ve given him a pass (unless they’re simply bought & paid for).
Like Europe, America is admitting that once people aren’t contributing to the tax base, they are economically detrimental; euthenasia won’t follow far behind the current plan to have blacks abort as many of their children as possible (under the guidance of our first mulatto president). The death panels are awaiting their first clients.
