Last night, the president bragged that the Democratic health care proposal had the support of groups like the American Medical Association. What he didn't mention is that many AMA doctors and chapters are in open revolt with the organization's leadership.

‘I was surprised, shocked, and saddened.”

That’s how Donald J. Palmisano, former president of the American Medical Association, described his reaction upon learning that the organization had endorsed the House Democrats’ health-care-reform plan. “I am a loyal member of the AMA, a lifetime member, but I believe the AMA made a serious mistake in endorsing this bill.”
