The American Society of Medical Doctors today released a new poll on doctors' opinions about a government-run plan.
Here are some key findings:

More than 60 percent would not accept new patients with government insurance (including 27% who would not accept any patients on the new government plan).
The head of the AMSD, Dr. Alfred O. Bonati had this to say "Doctors are against the creation of government-run health insurance and many of us will not accept new patients with that type of coverage."
