>> Do you have anything at all that says doctors don't support a public option?

I have seen no compelling data one way or the other. For the most part, everything we see on the subject today -- regardless of the direction one leans -- is based on one POV or the other, trying to sway the reader in their direction. Every account is suspect.

So, I would hesitate to say 70% think one way or another. It depends on how, and to whom, you ask the question, and what questions are asked. I personally do not believe that 70% support it, but I can't prove it, if that's what you mean.

Relating it back to my post on DME this morning, if you asked DME providers what THEY want, I'd wager they don't want ANYTHING to change. If you asked family practice docs, they probably want something different from what specialists want.

But I've talked to very few docs who want what they're afraid they're going to get.
