Don't believe all the Republican hype...

...about "repealing Obamacare." The Affordable Care Act will only be strengthened over time. (And we'll all be glad.)

My latest piece of evidence is from the American Medical Association (my emphasis):

The AMA's House of Delegates voted 326-165 to support the law's requirement that most people buy insurance. The coverage mandate is at the center of several lawsuits challenging the new law's constitutionality.

AMA President Cecil Wilson said the "overwhelming" vote shows that doctors still believe a mandate is necessary to achieving universal coverage.
 
He emphasized that the AMA — the country's largest trade association for doctors — backed the individual mandate before the debate over healthcare reform.
