The largest group of them is still came out against a public option however.

Of course this was in July.

As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan,


The A.M.A., with about 250,000 members, is America’s largest physician organization.


While committed to the goal of affordable health insurance for all, the association had said in a general statement of principles that health services should be “provided through private markets, as they are currently.”

Of course I do not expect every doctor in the organization feels this way, but the majority do.

To be fair though, here is a story that supports what you say, and goes against my previous post

Of course they support it now, under Obama's plan the prices go up even more and faster. I would love to be a doctor if this passes. Less patients and more profit!!!! :Shh::augentreher::)
