Young doctors pressured the American Medical Association to quit a coalition of lobbyists fighting Democrats' Medicare expansion plans

The American Medical Association has quit a coalition that's led the health industry's fight against Medicare expansion, the first crack in its opposition to Democratic candidates' proposals.

. The AMA in June agreed at an annual meeting to study the feasibility of a public option after years of opposition to single-payer health care.The partnership confirmed that the AMA had left. “Our diverse and fast-growing coalition strongly agrees with the American Medical Association that Medicare for all is the wrong approach for America’s health care and we have appreciated the opportunity to work with them throughout the past year," the partnership said in a statement.

The partnership — comprised of nearly 60 groups, including the American Hospital Association and AHIP — has spent millions of dollars advertising against Democrats' Medicare expansion ideas and is currentlyagainst Biden's public option proposal. Medicare pays hospitals and doctors at lower rates than private insurance.

Lawrence History repeats itself - In 1948 when universal health care (NHS) was introduced in the UK, BMA (Brit doctors) was one of the few against the NHS - they didn't want to change the nature of the doc/patient relationship. BMA quickly came round. Good that the AMA is changing too.
