1. Doctors are highly educated and generally objective, rational people.

As opposed to the mouth-breathing, bible-thumping, profit-driven corporate whore crowd.

2. Thanks for this. However, it's disappointing that there are more in favor of private only

as opposed to public only.

Have you seen this website?

3. So doctors favor Private insurance over any public option by more than 2 to 1

and they favor retention of private insurance over a purely public system by more than 6 to 1.
Doctors being doctors they know that a sizeable percentage of American medical insurance ALREADY is public-close to 30%.

So all this tells me is what I already know: people who have worked hard to get themselves on a gravy train by and large will want to stay on it.

Hands off the Mercedes!
