In reading the response, I was frustrated and disheartened by the fact that you couldn't get through the second paragraph before bringing up the issue of physician reimbursement. This merely highlights how the AMA represents a physician-centered and self-interested perspective rather than honoring the altruistic nature of my profession. As a physician, I advocate first for what is best for my patients and believe that as a physician, as long as I continue to maintain the trust and integrity of the profession, I will earn the respect of my community. The appropriate financial compensation for my endeavors will follow in kind.

Isn't　the AMA basically a union for doctors. If so then they should be concerned with what doctors are getting paid. That beach house doesn't pay for itself you know.

patiently waiting for all the right-wingers to start slamming overpaid doctors as the reason healthcare is such a mess just like they were damning the UAW. I think I might be waiting for quite some time...

A bunch of rich a-holes don't want Uncle Sam dicking around with their cash cow? Im shocked.

Not a right winger, but I'd expect them to start blaming lawyers for frivolous lawsuits and big pharma for high drug prices.

Isn't healthcare a mess because unemployed Angelina stalkers are entitled to have 8 kids on the government dime?

California has had restrictive tort caps on medical lawsuits for 30 years.

It's not the lawyers who are the problem...
