1) Doctors still get paid more
2) The AMA is still right-wing
Funny how little things change, huh?
Doctors as a whole have long been a pretty GOP-friendly profession. Doctors may be more moderate than typical Republicans on such social issues as abortion. Also, within the medical profession, you can probably find a decent number of Republicans who dislike Trump.
The voting patterns of Olmsted County (Rochester), Minnesota—home of the Mayo Clinic and many rich doctors—could provide clues about the profession’s voting habits. Obama carried the county twice, narrowly. He was the first Democrat to do so since LBJ. Bill Clinton lost the county by one vote in 1996 (while winning every neighboring county). His wife narrowly carried Olmsted 20 years later (while losing every neighboring county), with McMullin doing well.
Many Doctors are pretty much rich, golfing, country club Republicans. High levels of education may make them more progressive or moderate on social issues, and a bit leery of Trumpism.
