Perhaps, that's certainly a big number. Something like 70% of docs want

public option or single payer. They're just as sick of the paperwork as
everyone else.


They just want a government rubber stamp on their bills. I don't blame
them but if you are going to control costs more than the insurance
companies do you will be denying a lot more of their bills.

If you took every penny of insurance company profits away and reduced
the top pay for their executives to a GS16 level you wouldn't come
close to having the kind of money it takes for universal coverage.



Sure is easy to blame the doctors, but it's a fallacy that the are the
cause
of the problem. Insurance companies are only interested in profit, they
don't care a fig about people's health.

I am talking about the medical conglomerates like HMA and the other
mega medical corporations that own the doctors.



I'm not familiar with that company. They don't appear to be around here, but
I could be wrong. Kaiser is here in a big way. I'm not a fan of them, but
the docs are usually pretty good. They get a salary, and I know a couple of
them. They are not in anyone's pocket.
