AARP and American Medical Assn. support Democrats health care legislation

Democrats in support of the current health care legislation bill in both houses of Congress are one step closer today towards implementing a comprehensive overhaul of the system.   Both the AARP and American Medical Association have now openly announced their support for the current health care proposal made by democrats.  These announcements come directly after the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network announced on Tuesday that is also supporting this piece of legislation.  President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House Briefing room today to thank both of these large organizations for declaring their support.  The video featured bellow shows President Obama discussing the significant impact their support could have on this legislation being passed into law.  Also, the Los Angeles Times gives more context to the situation through showing certain groups of doctors like the American Society of General surgeons that belong to the American Medical Association that do not agree with the organization’s recent announcement of support.
