I was tallking to an independent doctor. The conversation lead to my making a comment "worried about patient lawsuits" she said it is not malpractice lawsuits we are worried about-It is the AMA.

Most doctors don't belong to the AMA, but it does lobby the government, and it has that useless JAMA that I've regarded as a junk journal over my entire career.

The real problem for the physicians are the boards of medical specialties, which grant certifications that render them worthy of serving medicaid and medicare patients. (Where most of the money is.) Also some states threatened or did revoke licensure for doctors who didn't submit to COVID tyranny. The vast role of government in paying medical bills is what nailed down the health care institutions to whatever idiocy was demanded of them by the feds and most of the states.
