SPOT ON. The AMA is an unconstitutional cartel that punishes the poor. All the changes they are talking about are total bullshit until this issue is addressed.

SPOT ON. The AMA is an unconstitutional cartel that punishes the poor. All the changes they are talking about are total bullshit until this issue is addressed. And what about prescriptions? The vast majority of drugs are safer than a bottle of Nyquil, but oh, we have to protect you so you have to make a doctors visit for some freaking allegra. Prescriptions need to come to an end unless it's a highly addictive or dangerous (class II?). You can't let the "experts" dictate what is best for all those "dumb citizens" when they stand to dramatically benefit from fear-mongering. It's elitist idiocy. It's the same reason why I'm highly skeptical of most global warming policy. Maybe we have global warming, but we have no idea if we can even stop it to begin with-- so hell, let's just let the "experts" make stuff up ("change your light bulbs!")... while we dump tons of money into funding research projects. Dumb.

What the hell are you talking about? Unconstitutional? The AMA is a professional association. A private professional association. The Constitution enumerates the powers of the federal and state governments and certainly doesn't have anything to say about the AMA...

Dumb. Ahh... Ok... Global warming skeptic: this makes so much more sense. It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about and, more to the point, are certainly not qualified to make any kind of judgment on "the vast majority of drugs." Please come back with some actual data next time.
