In addition, the survey found that 72 percent of those questioned supported a government-administered insurance plan -- something like Medicare for those under 65 -- that would compete for customers with private insurers.
However, half of those who identified themselves as Republicans said they would support a public plan, along with nearly three-fourths of independents and almost nine in 10 Democrats, according to the poll.
It is politically feasible to do it more than ever in American history, and the Democrats are blowing the chance. I am furious at the Democrats for being total sellouts until proven otherwise. If they amazingly get a public plan created I will be able to retract these statements, until then they are a disgrace of a party as the debate stands today.
If current trends continue, the U.S. will be short by about 125,000 family care doctors by 2020, according to Dr. Ted Epperly, president of the AAFP board. He estimated that the U.S. needs between 40 percent and 50 percent more family practice doctors than the nearly 100,000 working now.
“The pipeline of family physicians has dried up,” said Epperly, who’s hopeful that health care reform will help correct the problem.
