Young doctors aren't thrilled about health reform, and say it's causing them to be pessimistic about the future of the U.S. health care system, a new survey finds.
Nearly half of the 500 doctors surveyed (age 40 and under) think the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have a negative effect on their practices, compared with 23 percent who think it will be positive.
Overall, 57 percent say they are pessimistic about the U.S. health care system.
Other reasons cited for physician pessimism include concern over increased regulatory burdens and medical liability insurance premiums.
The survey was commissioned by The Physicians Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes the work of practicing doctors through grants, research and policy studies.
