A
recent survey finds that nearly 80 percent of
adult patients like their physicians, but many disapprove of the
direction of
health care.
The
survey, conducted this past summer by The
Physicians Foundation, polled more than 2,200 people 18 and older and
concluded
that, of those who visited a doctor at least once in the past year, 79
percent
were “very satisfied” or “extremely satisfied” with their family doctor
or
primary care physician.
About
20 percent of patients were “satisfied,”
and only 1 percent said they weren’t.
Meanwhile,
53 percent said they have a negative
outlook on health care, versus 22 percent who said they have a positive
view.
