Pam, Politifact it all you want, but I think the number does reflect a majority of doctor's feelings about Obamatax.
I have seen a great many doctors and medical practicioners over the past three years and have discussed current trends in health care. _None_ that I talked with liked the future they saw coming. Not a one! Most agreed that costs would rise, care would be rationed in some degree and overall patient care will decline due to lack of doctors. Tort reform was a major concern for them financially.
Their other big concern was the USPSTF. It was my oncologist who pointed out that the the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, that recommended mammograms for women under 50 were not beneficial, did not have a single clinical oncologist or breast surgeon on the panel. Her fear is that this panel will be the determiner of patient care and health decisions will be bast on cost effectiveness.
