46.3% of primary care physicians (family medicine and internal medicine) feel that the passing of health reform will either force them out of medicine or make them want to leave medicine. 62.7% of physicians feel that health reform is needed but should be implemented in a more targeted, gradual way, as opposed to the sweeping overhaul that is in legislation. They should poll specialists. Family Medicine is a winner in nationalized health care. The Canadian System that all the proponents love so much has 1/10th the specialists of the US system and a society and legal system not very open to the lawsuit crazy system we have. That's how they save money - much lower malpractice insurance and few specialists. No woman see's a gynecologist or any child see's a pediatrician without a referral as examples (Ontario and Nova Scotia systems - other provinces may vary).
