I’ve seen it first hand. They have been a lobbying organization against what my father, his father, his brother, and my brother-in-law (all surgeons, and internists) all used to call “socialized medicine,” or what is known in common parlance now, “universal healthcare.” They were deathly afraid of the government telling them how to practice medicine.
Now they have faceless corporations telling them how to practice medicine, what drugs they can prescribe, what procedures they can perform. I asked them regularly, “Now that you have dodged government healthcare, how do you like corporate healthcare? Satisfied with the destruction of your profession?”
Yes, they are standing up in a very limited way to these abortion absurdities now, but where were they when Humana and United Health were ripping the guts out of healthcare? They were cheering their fat paychecks.

They [the AMA] have been hardcore against any kind of “healthcare as a right” policies. As a pediatrician, that went hard against my grain and I could not allow my dues to be used for that purpose.
