Most Physicians Support National Health Care As Do 60 Percent Of The Public

By Doug Cunningham

Dr. Aaron Carrol of the Indiana University School of Medicine, says research shows a majority of U.S. physicians support government created national health care.

: “And we found that actually more physicians support national health insurance than they do the incremental reforms. And so more physicians actually endorsed the government taking more radical steps toward, say a Medicare for all, or some form of national health insurance than to just keep on doing what we’re doing and try to achieve universal coverage through band-aids and incremental reforms.”

A recent CNN poll shows 6 out of ten Americans believe the government should guarantee health care for all Americans.

2. guaranteeing health care for all
is not remotely the same thing as eliminating insurance and creating a government claims processing agency. I have yet to see a poll that asks that exact question, although lots of people pretend they have.

3. Talked with my Doctor yesterday
He thinks the only major flaw in the system is the insurance companies whose sole interest is adding unnecessary expense (profit) and in finding reasons to deny care. They provide absolutely NO Medical value at all.
