"The AMA has supported the health reform law since its inception. Our history is such that we have supported covering the uninsured along with an individual responsibility provision. This comes from the work we’re doing every day, seeing patients. For us it means millions of the uninsured will have insurance coverage.
teaching patients how to use their health insurance is going to be a huge issue. We’re going to have to work together, really with everybody, to teach people how to use prevention and what benefits are available to them.
To get to the issue of workforce, that wasn’t something created by the Affordable Care Act. The nation was facing a physician shortage well before the law, and that’s something we need to deal with.
