Heh.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

As always, thank you for the link, Uncle. And be sure to check out the comments, too. Some of the visitors have added their suggestions.

Just more misinformation, you all would like to think that the AMA dose not support heath care reform but this is a quote from there web site- “As the nation’s largest organization representing physicians from every state and nearly every medical specialty—and the patients in their care—the AMA is committed to achieving health system reform this year.” If you don’t believe me here is the link- http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/health-system-reform/index.shtml

(… if you can crosspost, so can I…)
liberal gun lover is right.
The AMA supports the current attempt at “reform” — principally on the basis that it halts and defers scheduled Medicare reimbursement cuts.
What he fails to note is that AMA membership figures (which include retired physicians, medical students and residents) account for less than 20% of physicians in practice, myself included.
While they remain (for now) the “largest” physician advocacy group “representing physicians from every state and nearly every medical specialty,” they’re very far from speaking for the majority.
Thanks again for helping me dispense with that frequently implied piece of… misinformation.
