The month of October saw one vice presidential debate and three presidential debates covering both foreign and domestic policy. A hot topic across all the debates was health care reform and the future of Medicare. The democratic and republican parties have very different views on the long-term health landscape of the United States. While their views are all well and good, we wanted input from those on the front lines of providing direct patient care – the physicians.
During the course of the debates InCrowd asked physicians to weigh in on topics related to health care reform and candidate selection.
Here’s the tip of the iceberg on what we learned…
- 39% think Medicare should be privatized for people under 55
- Specialists are significantly more likely to support privatizing Medicare
- Education is an important issue impacting MD candidate choice
- 14% say their ability to provide quality care has improved in last 4 years
