2,000 doctors surveyed

~63% support a public option
~10% support single-payer

Interesting that there's not much variation by specialty.

What the hell does doctors know?

That poll is just as crazy as looking to places were socialized healthcare provide better overall results than the US system and then conclude that perhaps it's the US system that needs changing.

Don't you realize that no new drugs will be made, if you go this route!

I heard that in Europe highly educated people tended to be more socialist than in the US.
Could be the answer.

Make new drugs? Ludicrous. That's just taking money away from drug advertising.

Well, sure, the New England Journal of Medicine might say that, but what about journals of medicine from real America?! What does the White Settlement, Texas Journal of Medicine have to say? Or the Lynchburg, South Carolina Journal of Medicine?

Hey now. We don't pollute the good Americun brains of Lynchburg with reading journals!
