Lindsey Tanner wrote an article entitled “Doctors signal they’ll work with Obama” published in the Associated Press discussing Obama's meeting with the American Medical Association (AMA).
The AMA is a group of doctors representing the nation. Traditionally, the AMA is conservative and have fought previous administrations' health care reform attempts. There was speculation that they were going to create an obstacle for Obama and his health insurance plan. But after Obama spoke to the doctors at their annual meeting in Chicago, the AMA signaled that they won't close the door on his health insurance proposal. Specifically, they are not against the part where public health insurance will compete with private insurers.
Obama's trip to Chicago for this meeting shows how much the President values the AMA's support. They would have liked a stronger endorsement, but this is a small battle in the large fight ahead for the Obama administration.

For my customers, affordable health insurance means coverage for a catastrophe but not for routine health care.
