CHICAGO, June 11 (UPI) -- The American Medical Association says it would support public option health care plans that do not force doctors to participate.
In a statement, the group, the most powerful doctors' lobby in the United States, said it opposes any plan that would expand Medicare or pay Medicare reimbursement rates. The statement was issued in response to a New York Times story Wednesday quoting the group as saying healthcare "should be provided through private markets, as they are currently."
