Doctors deeply divided over national health care reform

Doctors deeply divided over national health care reform
"A study published by the Annals of Internal Medicine last year found that 59 percent of about 2,200 physicians surveyed supported national health insurance. The researchers from Indiana University found that was up from 49 percent in a 2002 survey.

Yet the results show the many faces of medicine. Doctors in lower-paid practices -- psychiatry, pediatrics, emergency medicine and internal medicine -- were most likely to support national health insurance. Those in higher-paid areas -- surgical subspecialties, anesthesiology and radiology -- were least likely."
