Back to the survey overview... Survey Questions:Doctors' Attitudes toward the Patient Protection Affordable Care 1. PPACA does NOT represent my view of what the future of healthcare should be in America. 2. I believe PPACA will reduce the quality of care in America. 3. I believe PPACA will give physicians less freedom and power to care for their patients. 4. I believe that citizens should have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions instead of being mandated by the government to purchase healthcare. 5. Since the passage of PPACA, I am considering no longer accepting government care patients. 6. I support Ohio's Ballot Initiative 3, which seeks to amend Ohio's constitution to safeguard individuals from being forced to participate in a government-run healthcare system. 7. I would not advise my child or grandchild to go to medical school today. 8. I am more pessimistic about the future of patient care since the passage of PPACA. 10. I have considered retiring or quitting active patient care at an earlier age than I thought 5 years ago. 11. Unrestricted private contracting would increase my willingness to serve Medicare patients. 12. If it were legal, I would be willing, or even prefer, to treat some Medicaid or Medicare-eligible patients for free rather than file a claim for payment. 13. Below is a handful of new laws enacted or pending enactment from PPACA. Please rate your opinion of each.
