Most US doctors back public health option: poll



Monday September 14, 2009
Most US doctors approve of a "public option" to supplement private health care insurance in the United States, as proposed by President Barack Obama, a poll showed Monday.

A total of 62.9 percent of physicians who participated in the survey by the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) said they favored a public option, or government insurance plan, against 27.3 percent backing a private system alone.

Another 9.6 percent favored a completely government-owned health care coverage system.

"It's clear that the majority of US physicians support both public and private options to expand coverage," NEJM said, noting that between 52 and 69 percent of Americans favor a supplemental public option.

They'd have to do a very large poll representative of all docs to be more accurate.

I think a lot of docs just want more people covered...same with me.  Many don't look into the full details of the coverage and the taxpayor or gov burden, they just want more people to have health coverage.  Obama already said his idea was to mandate coverage for all.  I don't see why we need a public taxpayor option at this point.  Perhaps if insurance companies don't improve then a public option could be considered down the road.

Interesting that the poll found less than 10% of docs supporting full government ran healthcare.
