Doctors Boo Obama During AMA Speech Over Medical Malpractice Statements

AP: Barack Obama isn’t used to hearing boos.



For all the young president’s popularity, the response he got Monday from doctors at an American Medical Association meeting was a sign his road is only going to get rockier as he tries to sell his plan to overhaul the nation’s health care system.



The boos erupted when Obama told the doctors in Chicago he wouldn’t try to help them win their top legislative priority—limits on jury damages in medical malpractice cases.
