in support of single payer, universal health care.

In earlier times, when doctors were making lots of money, the majority were Republicans. The AMA even tried to stop the implementation of Medicare.

We are going to see some rough times, with less people interested in going to medical school, more doctors retiring early (unthinkable in the past) and lower paid primary care tracks being abandoned for the higher paying specialties.

When the wider provisions of the Affordable Care Act kick in, the shortage of doctors will become glaring. BUT, the support of doctors for a new system will continue to grow.
