Survey of Hawaii physicians' attitudes on health care reform
1John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu 96822, USA.
Hawaii is more important in health care that its size suggests. It is the first state in the U.S. to have mandated employer-funded health insurance for all workers, and to realize near universal coverage for residents. Because of that, the U.S. can benefit from the experience of those who deliver health services to the people of Hawaii. To determine some of the problems in the current system and what physicians see as solutions, a study of the attitudes and experiences of local physicians was conducted.
