Would physicians take a cut in pay for a cut in paperwork?

The University of Minnesota School of Public Health conducted a study which "found that 63.4 percent of state physicians believe that a single-payer universal health insurance system would offer the best health care to the greatest number of people."

Dr. Charles Oberg, the study's co-author and associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, commented, "Many doctors are becoming increasingly disappointed and frustrated with the health care system as it stands. Insurance hassles, heavy paperwork, and patients' inability to get the care they need make it very problematic."

The study also found that 71 percent of Minnesota doctors said they would accept a 10 percent reduction in fees for a "very significant" reduction in paperwork, and 63.8 percent favored physician payment under a salary system.
