War Pr0n: Woah! He Just ‘Sploded!
Written By : William Teach

Do you know what ‘sploding is? Premature detonation. Some Tuesday morning humor

Embedded video from CNN Video

Speaking of ‘sploding, the AMA is now getting behind the President Obama’s health reform plan, whatever the heck it actually is

The American Medical Assn., after 60 years of opposing any government overhaul of healthcare, is now lobbying and advertising to win public support for President Obama’s sweeping plan — a proposal that promises hundreds of billions of dollars for America’s doctors.

Of all the interest groups that have won favorable terms in closed-door negotiations this year, the association representing the nation’s physicians may have taken home the biggest prizes, including an agreement to stop planned cuts in Medicare payments that are worth $228 billion to doctors over 10 years.

So, it appears that President Obama’s plan, whatever the heck it is, still waiting for even a rough outline after his Wednesday campaign speech, is going to be some sort of political bribe to the AMA. Good to know.

    Perhaps the reason the AMA is supporting this is that they understand that health care reform needs to take place, interesting thought a group of medical proffesionals thinking that reform needs to take place.

    Reform yes. We all think there needs to be reform. But, not this travesty of a plan by the House.

    Why do you support the House plan, wahts_up?

    Ummh, someone should point out that somewhere around 28% of Docs belong to the AMA, so it does not represent the opinion of a plurality, much less a majority of physicians.

    They are being lied to by O, in exchange for promise to hang them last…. Or is it they have figured out they only have to be faster than BigPharma in outrunning the O medical bear that is chasing…

    take your pick.

    They represent a minority, and have other hidden agendas…

    tomw – one additional data point for you:

    Like the AARP, the AMA was taken over by agenda-driven activists about a decade ago, which is why their membership is as low as it is now. What used to be the effective voice of American physicians is now just one more voice in the cacophonous choir of lobby/pressure groups.

    I heard recently an interview with a doctor that says AMA is about 17%. Whatever, it is really low, thus AMA is of almost no real merit to quote.
