Well that’s a you being poorly educated problem dear…
The American Medical Association (AMA) bears substantial responsibility for the policies that led to physician shortages. Twenty years ago, the AMA lobbied for reducing the number of medical schools, capping federal funding for residencies, and cutting a quarter of all residency positions. Promoting these policies was a mistake, but an understandable one: the AMA believed an influential report that warned of an impending physician surplus.
“ To its credit, in recent years, the AMA has largely reversed course. For instance, in 2019, the AMA urged Congress to remove the very caps on Medicare-funded residency slots it helped create.”
Sounds like we are both wrong as they stopped doing this
They did generational damage tonthe country… They are a trash org in my book.
Them back tracking now is hardly anything of value since nothing changed. They know they got bad PR and they need to maintain good PR BC plebs are turning on the quacks.
Go back and look at my other comment in this thread. They have been problematic for other reasons such as their opposition to foreign trained doctors or the endorsement of products.
Ever heard of AIPAC or a generic trade group lobby before?
Yes, and I know what the AMA does and limiting the number of doctors is nowhere on the list of stuff they do.

They just “lobby” no big deal
Quacks as a group are class traitors. And the good ones get fucked by their stupid system so only parasites are permitted to rise to the top.
