Why AMA supported Obamacare

This post is amazing. I have never supported the AMA with  my money, and know many others who refuse to as well, but I never knew why they had so much money to spend. Now I know.

Random Thoughts

Thomas Sowell occasionally writes random thought columns which I find fun to read. Here is a great and yet simple quote:
