One leg of three-legged anti-healthcare stool goes wobbly

Fifty-nine percent of doctors are now OK with national healthcare.

I’ve blogged more than once opposition to national healthcare, whether a UK/Canada single-payer system or a voucher-type system like that of many EU members, is based on a three-legged stool:
• The American Medical Association;
• Big PHARMA;
• Health insurance companies.

Beyond that, I’ve noted that the key to passing some sort of national healthcare is to negate the strong-arm lobbying of two of the three.

Well, the first leg may just be getting wobbly.

That said, a combination of carrot and stick on a voucher-type program, which would keep private health insurance companies in business, albeit under new federal regulations, would take care of leg No. 3.

That leaves the drugs folks.
