 A 2008 survey of doctors, published in "Annals of Internal Medicine", shows that physicians support universal health care and national health insurance by almost 2 to 1.Although the marginal scope of free or subsidized medicine provided is much discussed within the political body in most countries with socialized health care systems, there is little or no evidence of strong public pressure for the removal of subsidies or the privatization of health care in those countries.The political distaste for government involvement in health care in the U.S. is a unique counter to the trend found in other developed countries.
