Millennial doctors are killing predatory health-care capitalism!

This June at the American Medical Association’s annual meeting, a
coalition of young doctors forced the AMA to debate its decades of
opposition to single-payer healthcare. During the heated debate on the
resolution, older doctors lectured their young challengers about the
possibility that universal health care would erode doctors’ income.

The AMA has led the opposition to national healthcare since the 1930s,
but by the end of the meeting the AMA had chartered a study group to
consider its position. Polls of younger doctors show overwhelming
support for the idea. They’re entering a field dominated by huge
corporate practices and don’t see themselves as entrepreneurs striking
out on their own and worried about government interference in “their
business.”
