Doctors support public option!

The following article is coming out in this week's New England Journal of Medicine:

In a nationally representative random sample of physicians, 73% stated support for a public insurance option (63%) or single-payer healthcare (10%). The people on the front line of delivering health care, who have potentially the most to be concerned about in terms of income, practice freedom and so forth, are overwhelmingly in favor of a public option. This is really quite extraordinary and needs to be disseminated far and wide.

What a long way we've come since the days when the AMA tried to kill Medicare by calling it socialism (sound familiar?) and did help kill the Clinton health care plan.
