The AMA opposes "ObamaCare"

I agree with the AMA.  While we do need to make healthcare more accessible, government-rationed healthcare is not the answer; it will only lead to more deaths, and people not being able to get healthcare they need, because it has been 'rationed' to others.  Of course, it will also include more abortions and birth control. 

As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan, which President Obama and many other Democrats see as an essential element of legislation to remake the health care system.

The opposition, which comes as Mr. Obama prepares to address the powerful doctors’ group on Monday in Chicago, could be a major hurdle for advocates of a public insurance plan. The A.M.A., with about 250,000 members, is America’s largest physician organization.

While committed to the goal of affordable health insurance for all, the association had said in a general statement of principles that health services should be “provided through private markets, as they are currently.” It is now reacting, for the first time, to specific legislative proposals being drafted by Congress.
