i'm not surprised to see that doctors support health care reform with a public option by an overwhelming 2.5 to one margin. every doctor i have talked to about the subject is strongly in favor of health reform. they're quite familiar with the health insurance industry's shenanigans.
a lot of people seem to have the impression that doctors don't want health reform. i think that's a leftover sentiment from the AMA's opposition to prior health care reform efforts. this time the organization is supporting the reform efforts, though it hasn't committed to the public option. with three-quarters of american doctors against a purely private insurance system, i wonder if the AMA might eventually give in on that as well.
