66% of Practicing Physicians in Massachusetts don't want Single Payer. [View All]

NB: I am in favor of Single Payer. I do not favor cherry picking statistics - to give an altogether misleading reading of a very detailed survey. In the report cited below only 34% of respondents favored single payer.

The highest support for single payer was physicians over 55 with 40% (60% preferring a different model)
The lowest support was physicians aged 35 and under was 29% (71% supporting different model)

To suggest a move to single payer would receive vast support from the medical profession is at best misplaced:
