WOMEN MEDICAL STUDENTS TEND TO FAVOR HEALTH CARE REFORM.
Abstract
A study was designed to measure the effect of the rapidly increasing number of women in medicine on health care reform, with its potential to benefit minority and high-risk populations.
Goals of the study were to assess physicians' attitudes toward health care reform; determine if male and female physicians and students in different age groups have different attitudes toward a reformed health care system; and determine if differences and time-related trends among the groups might affect practice characteristics.
A national sample of 1250 medical students and physicians were surveyed using a mail questionnaire in a cross-sectional design. The response rate was 37.4% (n=468).
The main outcome measure was the effect of the gender shift in the physician work force on the pace of health care reform. Respondents' personal and practice characteristics that are supportive of a reformed system are more prevalent among younger respondents. Older respondents, especially males, are more supportive of health care system characteristics associated with fee-for-service and private insurance.
Introduction
In 1994 the United States Congress considered the health care reform proposal of the Clinton administration but declined to pass it. The far-reaching proposal, according to its supporters, would have led to universal health care reform, providing maximum access to care and guaranteed quality while lowering costs of health care for all.
