AMA Joins Increasingly Loud Chorus Of Health Groups Opposing GOP Repeal BillYesterday it was the hospitals. Today its the doctors.
The AMA announced its opposition in a letter Wednesday morning, hours before two House committees were set to mark up repeal legislation. It comes one day after a slew of patient advocacy and health industry groups including the American Hospital Association announced they were against the House GOP bill ― and its one more sign of political trouble for the Republican repeal effort.
While we agree that there are problems with the ACA that must be addressed, we cannot support the AHCA as drafted because of the expected decline in health insurance coverage and the potential harm it would cause to vulnerable patient populations, AMA chief executive James Madara said in the letter.
I think that the only people that are for "Repeal and Decimate" are people with Obama Derangement Syndrome.

B. no other republican can run against them without money and the Koch bros wont be allowing that unless said candidate swears allegiance to taking all benefits from all working people
And, after the GOP takes all of our benefits and protections, some of the people hurting the most, Trump voters, will not blame the GOP, they will blame us.
I wish I was wrong about this, I really do, but I am not.

Geez. You'd think they'd learn that cranking out a couple of pages isn't going to cover all of the exceptions that need to be made.
Where were they when the 'Muslim ban' was rolled out?
