However, many of the surveyed physicians conceded that reforms could provide benefits such as preventive care and less use of expensive ER services.

Surveyed physicians also noted that reform would require a dramatic increase in numbers of physicians in primary care, especially family medicine.

The survey was conducted with members of KantarHealth’s All Global physician panel in September.
