Hewitt: Back On Planet Earth, The AMA and Big Insurance Finally Figure Out That Obamacare Will Cripple American Health Care. Perhaps They Will Help Lobby These Senators To Vote Against Cloture. Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 10:14 AM hughhewitt.com This report from the Washington Post would be funny if the consequences of the year long surrender by the AMA and the insurance bigs inside the Beltway hadn't been so predictable. How shocking that the Dems promised them one thing and delivered another. How sad that America's doctors have been thrown under the bus by the AMA's D.C. sharpies and that everyone with private insurance is going to see massive premium hikes that the insurance companies didn't battle against. Here's the list of Democratic senators, any two of whom can block cloture and thus this terrible bill. The various hapless lobbyists for docs and insurance companies might want to try and get their members to direct their concerns to the senators on this list: Arkansas Sen.
