    62% of Doctors who voted for Trump don NOT want Obamacare repealed

    But who cares what the professionals on the front line think .. right Trumpkins? ;-)

    Only 37.9% of doctors who reported voting for Donald Trump are in favor of completely repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), widely referred to as Obamacare, according to a survey by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The revelation of serious misgivings by the people on the front lines of healthcare, published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine, raises questions about the wisdom of repealing the law, as Trump and Republicans in Congress have vowed to do, without having a clear replacement plan in place.

    In total, only 15% of physicians who participated in the Hopkins survey support a repeal of the ACA—far less than the 26% of the general public who say they want Obamacare gone, as reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

    Not relevant. If they want to make policy let them run for office.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Doctors practice the art of medicine. If they want to practice the art of making policy the rest of us must pay for they should win elections and become legislators. This is not a difficult concept.

    And that's because why? Personally I am in favor of AttorneyPay, a system whereby the government guarantees my clients are able to pay me. Works great for me.

    They'll support it right up through single payer until the government, you know, to control costs, starts slashing reimbirsement rates. And then makes licensure cobtingent on accepting those rates. No, our government would never do such a thing?

    Its happening....

    This is absolutely correct and absolutely irrelevant.

    Doctors are on the front line of health care. Ignore them at your own peril.

    This is not a difficult concept.
