Most U.S. doctors favor having both public and private options in a reformed healthcare system, a survey published on Monday said.
When given a three-way choice among:
-private plans that use tax credits or subsidies to help the poor buy private insurance
-a public health insurance plan option for everyone
-a mix of the two
Only 27 percent said they only wanted solely private options
10 percent said they exclusively wanted public options
63 percent of doctors supported a mix!!!!! (FYI -- WHAT OBAMA IS PUSHING FOR)
The study found broad physician support for a combination of private and public insurance, regardless of their region, medical specialty, how they earned their income, or how many hours they spent treating patients.

Duh. Of course the doctors want a mix. Medicare is a public health insurance plan and it seems to work just fine. At least they get their money! It's the right wing wackos who are against ANYTHING Obama supports.
