Physicians sign petition in opposition of AMA's Dr. Tom Price endorsement — 3 highlights

After the American Medical Association endorsed President-elect Donald Trump's pick as Tom Price, MD, for HHS secretary, many providers signed a petition titled "The AMA Does Not Speak for Us," an AJC blog post stated.

Here are three highlights:

1. More than 5,500 healthcare providers signed the petition.

2. Three physicians — Jane Zhu, MD, Navin Vij, MD, and Manik Chhabra, MD — wrote the petition.

3. Dr. Zhu told CBS News that the petition doesn't aim to fight Dr. Price's confirmation but to fight his attempts to get rid of the ACA.
