Welcome  to  public  health  moment from  the  University  of  Minnesota. Nearly  two  thirds  of  Minnesota  physicians  believe a  single  payer  universal  Health  Insurance  system would  provide  the  best  value  for  Minnesota  patients. This  is  according  to  research  led  by  Dr.  Jim  Hart, an  assistant  professor  at the  University  of  Minnesota  School  of  Public  Health. We  did  a  random  survey  of Minnesota  physicians  and  got a  statistically  valid  number. And  64%  of  Minnesota  physicians  actually would  favor  a  single  payer  health  care  system. 25%  would  favor  a  system  based more  on  individual  health  savings  accounts. About  12%  would  favor the  current  managed  care  system  that  we  have. Hart  says  he  believes  doctors  are  so  dissatisfied  with the  current  system  that  they  are willing  to  take  a  chance  on  something  new. And  different  Minnesota  physicians,  I  think, have  grown  weary  of  the  current  managed  care  system  that places  a  huge  administrative  layer between  them  and  their  patients. The  other  systems,  particularly  a  single  payer  system, are  really  not  something  that Minnesota  physicians  know  well, I  think  they  are  telling  us  that  they  clearly would  like  to  take  a  little  risk,  if  you  will, and  try  a  system  that  would  have less  administrative  burden  to it  with  another  public  health  moment.
