Policymakers for the nation's leading doctors group got together this week and decided, among other things, that the organization will indeed support a tenet in the healthcare law that requires individuals to purchase insurance coverage.

Some members had balked at the group's support, casting doubt on whether the organization would continue to back the measure.

The group also chided insurance companies for their high rate of errors in processing medical claims and asked for more study on the merits of taxing soft drinks.
