clearly this is why up until recently the AMA has been against the public option.... and are currently only for a very token public option.

No most doctors actually DON'T want government run healthcare.

And what proof do you have?  Have you asked any Doctors?   Of course, you'll probably load your question up in a way that will intimidate them to either not respond or to tell you what you want to hear so that they don't have to get into a political game with someone using your tactics.  ;)

As of this poll, taken last year, 59% support a universal health care plan. 

The government will not be running the hospitals.  They will be offering a non-profit and low overhead costing insurance. 

Please, give me evidence of all these doctors who do not want your loaded question.  **waits patiently for your newsmax/World nut daily/Fox news link to support your stance**

Based on the Doctors that I know of (including several in both IL, IA, & NE), somewhere around 1 in 4 are in favor of the public option.

But more importantly, this poll which was released in Sept says 2/3rds of doctors are against the current plan.

And 45% go so far as to say they would quit if it were passed....
