Medicare for All Rally Organizers Blame American Medical Association as ‘Major Reason’ People Aren’t Covered
8th June 2019
The AMA, like every such ‘trade association’, is essentially a cartel or guild, devoted to making sure that it’s members, and only its members, get the benefits that the association can collar through lobbying and publicity. Lawyers have a similar cartel, and accountants keep trying to form one with less success. Whenever you see the term ‘Licensed X’, that’s a cartel. (If you see ‘Certified X’, that’s a cartel wannabe.)
Doctors are smart, so they know that becoming government employees (effectively) means cushy jobs for second-rate people but limits on upside income enhancement for first-rate people … and doctors think of themselves as first-rate people (like lawyers). This is why smart people with medical training in the Turd World all want to come to the U.S. where they can get rich (they think).
