two-thirds of Minnesota physicians support single payer

Abstract

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, according to research led by Dr. Jim Hart, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. <clip: “We did a random survey of Minnesota physicians…to manage the 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. <clip: “Minnesota physicians I think have grown weary of … less administrative burden to it.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
