If the election were held today, 55 percent of physicians reported they would vote for Romney while just 36 percent support Obama, according to a survey released by Jackson & Coker, a division of Jackson Healthcare, the third largest health care staffing company in the United States

Fifteen percent of respondents said they were switching their vote from Obama in 2008 to Romney in 2012. The top reasons cited for this change was the Affordable Care Act and the failure to address tort reform.

They are also going to look at the profit centers of physicians who own their own labs......cleaning up fraud and waste......taxing high income folks, and creating more competition.......well would you vote for a person who would be negatively impacting your wallet......nope.....but America wins when the fraud and policies that bring efficiencies to our system are addressed.

Wowsers!! Lazy, stupid and angry.

Why bother making the effort to comment (twice) if you don't want to discuss the issue?

Well, really, you could have posted the article you referenced or could have admitted you had forgotten where you'd read it. Instead you came back all in MC's face when you were the one that mentioned the article. Wow.

It's worth noting. the survey was conducted by Jackson & Coker, a division of Jackson Healthcare a staffing company who places doctors and nurses who are not proficient enough to get permanent employment with any medical group or hospital. Sampling physicians who are permanently staffed with medical groups and hospitals instead of locum tenes may well have resulted in different results.

Do you know how to read? Othershoe provided essentially the same article with a link - in fact the link is even embedded in one of your reply posts.. At least try to follow the thread sport.

Economists reluctantly pick Romney

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Economists think Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would be better for the economy than President Obama. But they're not very enthusiastic about either of them.
Nine of 17 top economists surveyed by CNNMoney picked Romney when asked whose election would help the economy grow more. Only three picked Obama.
But the remaining five made no pick, with several suggesting neither would provide much of a lift to the sagging economy.
"Obama doesn't really understand business and Romney doesn't really understand how to govern. So pick your poison," said Gary Rosenberger of EconoPlay, one of those surveyed who refused to give a pick.
And many of those picking Romney were more critical of, as opposed to excited about, the Republican challenger's plans.
"Romney's policies would likely be less bad for the economy than Obama's," said Bill Watkins, executive director of the Center for Economic Research and Forecasting at Cal Lutheran University.

The inference from your following post was that it was not the same article. Since you now say it is essentially the same article, I should point out that 9 of 17 that prefer Romney is equal to roughly HALF surveyed. Overwhelming!

Interesting article. my only comment on it would be Im not sure how they think obama can govern better than romney. I guess they are gving him the incumbent benefit.
