ParticipantDoctors may be the wrong people to ask, because they will do their job to the best of their ability regardless of who (insurance companies vs governmet) is paying the bill. Doctors get paid either way.
Remember, this debate is about who will be paying for the healthcare, not the actual healthcare itself.

Participanti dont know. family member’s a doc. hates the system. HATES INSURANCE. won’t practice for insurance reimbursement. dont’ know if a new regime would eb betetr or worse, but for many docs, the insurance game makes the whole practice unpalatable. can make money doing per diems, not dealing wiht ins. co. it’s a big big issue for doctors, and there are some who dont absolutely need to work who bail because they feel it’s just not fair to them and constant hassle and struggle. I have no idea what the right thing to do is, except i am certian a bit more exercise, relaxation, and weight loss would take care of a big chunk of our problems. but not all…

ParticipantRecent polling shows that most physicians support reform, and a public option (or even stronger) in a wider margin than the general public.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112818960
Most doctors — 63 percent — say they favor giving patients a choice that would include both public and private insurance. That’s the position of President Obama and of many congressional Democrats. In addition, another 10 percent of doctors say they favor a public option only; they’d like to see a single-payer health care system. Together, the two groups add up to 73 percent.
When the American public is polled, anywhere from 50 to 70 percent favor a public option. So that means that when compared to their patients, doctors are bigger supporters of a public option.
