I can't put it better than this comment: doctors will love the AMA, no matter what it does.
Their software vendor charging an $18/month is a pittance.
It dictates school credentials and # of seats, keeping doctors supply-constrained.
This works out from a doctor's perspective. It guarantees $400K/year or whatever you want to negotiate (ex. $280K/year for working 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, or $500/hour for 4 days for 2 weeks so the other 2 weeks, you can pick up locums shifts 2 hours away for $700/hr).
They also keep doctors informed that without this, they'd be conscripted to work 80 hour weeks for $70K.
(all of this is also why there's a long-term secular shift towards nurses, the second thing my doctor friends will do after being defensive about pay is complain about the low standards of education in nursing)
