The*American Medical Association*has weighed in on Obama's new
health care package.

The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists
advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the
Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a
misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea
shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said,
"Oh, grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the
Radiologists could see right through it.*

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the
Internists claimed it would indeed be a* bitter pill to swallow.
The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new
face on the matter". The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but
the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty
Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to
Washington.
