Who are opponents of health care reform listening to?

This new cable spot from the labor-backed Americans United For Change asks that question, and highlights the considerable gap between too many Congressional leaders and their constituencies.

President Obama is scheduled to address the American Medical Association this morning. The AMA has been reluctant to support the President's proposals for allow public plans to compete with for-profit companies to lower costs and expand access.

The corporate backers of the AMA -- which isn't nearly the organization of humble docs you might think -- are predictably concerned about how proposed reforms will affect their abilities to pocket obscene profits in a world where patients are put first.
