H-165.888 Evaluating Health System Reform Proposals
Our AMA will continue its efforts to ensure that health system reform proposals adhere to the following principles:
..."(2) Unfair concentration of market power of payers is detrimental to patients and physicians, if patient freedom of choice or physician ability to select mode of practice is limited or denied. Single-payer systems clearly fall within such a definition and, consequently, should continue to be opposed by the AMA. Reform proposals should balance fairly the market power between payers and physicians or be opposed. "

Awfully dogmatic, isn't it?
