The American Medical Association isn’t ready to support a single payer version of “Medicare for All” and instead wants to strengthen the Affordable Care Act heading into the 2020 Presidential campaign.
The AMA‘s policy-making House of Delegates this week faced criticism from members within its annual meeting and non-member protesters outside the Hyatt Regency Chicago because the doctors group opposes a single payer version of “Medicare for All.”
On Tuesday morning, AMA delegates defeated an effort that would have ended the national doctor group’s opposition to a single payer version of Medicare for All. The AMA did, however, agree to study a public option approach to expanding coverage and reiterated its support of the ACA.
