Survey: More doctors back universal health care
More medical care national health insurance plan today as five years ago, according to the Indiana University School of Medicine study.
Nearly half of all physicians surveyed in the year 2002 she promoted universal health coverage. Up to the year 2007, 59 percent of the respondents answered in the affirmative.
This represents more than 90000 skip doctors who are now in the care of national health insurance, said Dr. Aaron Carroll, director of the Indiana University School of Medicine’s Center for Health Policy and Research professionalism and an author of the study.
The study, on Tuesday in Annals of Internal Medicine, do not ask why the doctors had transferred his point of view, but Carroll said, several factors may be at work.
“Doctors are directly accessible on the front panel. As you can see, what is uninsured or underinsured works, “said Carroll.” All the changes and things we are doing, have spoken about it, others are not any better. The prices will go up, access and quality is not always better. ”
According to the latest survey, 83% of psychiatrists preference national health insurance. Nearly 70 percent of physicians in emergency medicine, 65 percent of pediatricians, 64% of internists, 60 percent of family physicians and 55 percent of surgeons.
Radiologists, anaesthetists and doctors, which in some surgical subspecialties were the only groups with a majority do not support universal coverage.
It is not merely that these specialties are, in general, is the most profitable medicine, “said Carroll, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the IU School of Medicine. Physicians who, in these areas, perhaps less about the exposure of uninsured patients.
Five years have seen a difference in the Carroll’s views, he said.
If the first study, he could not understand why a doctor wants universal. At the end of the study, but to do more and research, he came to believe that it is time for a change.
The current system is not enough, he said.
“It’s a bad system. It’s not working.”
