74% of physicians expect Congress to overturn PPACA

Nearly three-quarters, 74 percent, of physicians would expect Congress to overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, according to January 2015 LocumTenens.com survey.

Here are three other findings from the survey.

•    44 percent of physicians were opposed to the PPACA prior to implementation
•    58 percent of physicians are opposed to the PPACA now that it is in action
•    66 percent of physicians believe the law should be repealed

"After a year in the trenches trying to help patients understand this legislation, physicians by and large feel the law hasn't done a lot to help improve healthcare," said R. Shane Jackson, president of LocumTenens.com and Jackson Healthcare. "Physicians feel the ACA has made serving patients and running their businesses much harder. A year after implementation, and years after the political debate started, doctors are still passionate about how this law should have been designed, and would still like to see changes made that will make it simpler for their staffs and patients to understand.
