Doctors Now More Likely to Be Democrats

Wall Street Journal: “The political drift of physicians accelerated in 2016, when Donald Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination.”

“Many physicians say they were uneasy about Republicans’ health policy proposals and turned off by Mr. Trump’s stance on scientific issues, such as his skepticism about climate change. Despite having mixed feelings about Obamacare, most physicians say they don’t support Republican lawmakers’ calls to repeal it without a clear replacement since they have already invested in adapting to its mandates, and because repeal could leave millions uninsured.”
