The uneasy alliance between the AMA and Senate Democrats is starting to look a bit frayed.  Apparently, Senator Reid took the “doc fix” legislation to a vote based on what he understood to be assurances from the AMA that there were enough Republican votes to get it through.

Oops.  Apparently, the AMA thought it made it clear that there were Republican votes for general health care reform legislation, NOT that particular piece of legislation.  The “doc fix” legislation went down in flames.

Stay tuned as the sitcom continues.
