TO REPEAT: DOCTORS WOULD HANG IT UP

Last September an Investor's Business Daily (IBD)/TIPP Poll showed 45 percent of doctors would consider leaving medicine if a health care takeover passed. A new second poll has verified those findings:

The TIPP questionnaire went out Aug. 28 to some 25,600 doctors nationwide:

• Of the physicians queried, 45 percent said they'd consider closing their practice or retiring early if the overhaul then being considered were enacted.
• Also, 65 percent said they opposed the government's attempts at taking over the health care system.
• Of the 800,000 physicians practicing in the United States in 2006, as many as 360,000 might leave the profession.
• So with the proposed overhaul, we'd be trying to cover 31 million more patients with up to 45 percent fewer doctors.
