According to a new IBD/TIPP survey of 1,376 randomly selected practicing physicians from across the country, a whopping 45% of doctors “would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement” if the health care “reform” plan being pushed by Congress and the President passes.

Here are some other highlights of the survey, according to Investors Business Daily:

• Two-thirds, or 65%, of doctors say they oppose the proposed government expansion plan. This contradicts the administration’s claims that doctors are part of an “unprecedented coalition” supporting a medical overhaul.

• More than seven in 10 doctors, or 71% — the most lopsided response in the poll — answered “no” when asked if they believed “the government can cover 47 million more people and that it will cost less money and the quality of care will be better.”
