If Liberals hate monopolies, why do they not demand that the Medical monopoly allow more doctors?
Justin asked:
The American Medical Association has been lobbying to keep the supply of doctors low in America so that their salaries will stay inflated. Why aren’t liberals outraged by this behavior?

If the supply of doctors were increased, and many other restrictions lifted, it would lower the cost of medicine significantly.
More doctors = more healthcare = lower prices.

You should really try to understand the Presidents plan before you spout off. It includes provisions to get more doctors. Bush Lied Millions Died

because liberals are nuts and love to fight, i’m taking a guess here but if health care passes then they will be the first one to protest to get rid of it. they change things to the way they want it and then once they get it they realize its bad and move to another state and do it again, aka california,
they were against big oil, now there against big solar and big wind,
they will be against health care if it passes, they live to make trouble Mike

That’s oversimplifying. There are many other reasons why medical care is expensive. One of the biggest is the high price of malpractice insurance necessitated by all of the frivolous lawsuits. ConcernedCitizen

Because if the pay lowered by too much, we would continue the on track for not having 1 single family physician in America in 20 years. They need high salary to pay back all their school loan money, pay for good help in their offices, make enough money for it to be worth the sacrifice. The only thing I want to change about doctors is that they need an increase in nutritional knowledge. Runtun

Funny, they are in favor of government controlled monopolies.
Once the government controls the assets of a nation, then the general population becomes expendable. some dude
