Update/BREAKING: US Physicians Enthusiastically Support Public Option
Update/BREAKING: US Physicians Enthusiastically Support Public Option

At 2:00 pm today, the New England Journal of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released a new report to the press (embargoed until 5 pm EST) summarizing the views of physicians on the contentious issue of the public option in a reformed health care system. (Will post a link as soon as it is available)

And you will never guess what the researchers found. In a survey of 6,000 US physicians conducted in April of this year, which covered physicians across all geographic regions of the US and all specialties, researchers found overwhelming support for the public option offered as a CHOICE along side private health insurance plans in health insurance reform.

63% overall support public option and 10% support single payer = 73% support public plan
