As they should be. The largest association of doctors in the US SHOULD have a say in what constitutes a standard medical residency program in the US.
The idea that health care is expensive because hidden organizations are limiting the number of doctors in the US is a stupid conspiracy theory, period. Health care in the US is expensive because of out of control corporations that have been less and less regulated by anyone in the past 50 years.
- cameldrv 3y agoThey explicitly limit the number of residencies. You only get the number of slots they say in your residency program. This is just like calling OPEC a stupid conspiracy theory.
- Omniusaspirer 3y agoResidency slots are limited by federal government funding, not the AMA.
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoYou went from "it's a conspiracy theory" to "it's true but this is the way it should be"
- Accujack 3y agoNo, I did not. The mentioned organization establishes standards for residency programs. Just because the AMA participates does not mean they're "in control" of slots in residency programs, and in fact that organization itself does not control slots available. You shop at a drugstore, does that mean you're part of the Big Pharma cabal?
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoThat's the way with all conspiracy theories but it's usually longer than an hour for the about-face to happen.
