Above is an NPR article that provides a synopsis of an article that will be published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine citing a recent study that found that 73% of all physicians favor a public option.

I found this article intriguing because, as a whole, I have found doctors to be a pretty conservative group - far more conservative than say, nurses. Of course my evidence for this is purely antecdotal. I have no idea, statistically speaking, how doctors line up politically.  Nevertheless I was quite surprised that nearly 3/4 of them support a public option.
