What Will Be Obvious After Tonite

So, I don't think that it is right for anyone who doesn't know about the profession to be bad mouthing doctors just because they make more than the average person, and because they are against universal health care since it would make their jobs a lot more difficult for less pay.

Well I asked my wife the same thing and apparently some do and some dont. Just like most other jobs. There are so many specialists that make far too much money, and so many GP's who work their butt's off and dont make enough. There are many rural areas that need GP's badly. But everyone wants to be some sort of specialist. And the bottom line is they need to want to take care of folks.

The AMA is a union for Doctors, not patients.
Most teachers unions are for teachers, not students.
