“…But neither do they disconfirm it with any vigor. These studies have not treated public communication as a major variable to be built into their research designs (for example, Schanck, 1932 and1938;Colombotos et al, 1975;Fields and Schuman, 1976;O'Gorman and Garry, 1976). Schanck does, however, remark in connection with one controversy in Elm Hollow that "continuous advocacy of a position by a minority leads them (the majority) to a belief that this stand may be fairly universal in their group" (Schanck, 1938:93).…”

“…Among the nonprimary specialties, only psychiatrists appeared willing to allow significant task delegation. Other studies have also found pediatricians, obstetricians-gynecologists, and psychiatrists to be more &dquo;liberal&dquo; than other physicians (Colombotos et al, 1975;Goldman, 1974) and more willing to delegate tasks (Reed and Roghmann, 1971;Yankauer et al, 1970). In the case of pediatrics, the publication of favorable research results concerning successful task delegation may also have had some impact (Yankauer et al, 1970).…”

“…indicate that younger physicians (Counte and Kimberly, 1974;Goldman, 1974;Reed and Roghmann, 1971), those in group practice or institutional employment (Colombotos et al, 1975;Counte and Kimberly, 1974;Goldman, 1974), and those using more highly qualified assistants (Reddick et al 1971) tend to be more open to new ideas and concepts than the typical physician. Table 7 provides a detailed breakdown of the relationship between manpower utilization practices and physician specialty.…”

The manpower utilization patterns in physician practices are examined with regard to present employment and task delegation patterns, willingness to delegate tasks to physician extenders, and correlates of both. The study concludes that little task delegation has occurred in the clinical areas with the exception of the provision of information and counseling. However, there does appear to be an acceptance of significantly more task delegation than has occurred up to the present. Policy implications and recommendations are presented.

“…In a survey of a series of cohorts from Yale University's School of Medicine, for instance, Goldman (1974) has identified the points on which many physicians agree regarding a national health system. In a subsequent survey conducted by Colombotos et al (1975), a wide range of financing, administration, and coverage questions on NHI were put to a national sample of physicians. In both efforts greater support was witnessed for the less comprehensive insurance proposals, and most of this support came from younger physicians.…”

HEALTH care and health insurance remain major concerns for Americans despite the enactments of Medicare and Medicaid legislation in the 1960s. These concerns have been attributed by some to increasing out-of-pocket expenses for health care (Aday, et al., 1977:513) and appear to manifest themselves in strong support for renewed federal intervention in health care (e.g., Erskine, 1975). Specifically, there is a persistent and considerable proportion of the American public which supports a program of universally available national health insurance (Gallup, 1978:36).A recent Gallup (1978:39ff) poll of Americans shows that more than 64 percent of the noninstitutionalized, civilian population favor a program of national health insurance. Among the reasons offered for this support were a desire to expand the access of medical care to those perceived to be currently underserved (e.g., the poor, elderly), Abstract Past research has demonstrated that the majority of the American public favor some form of national health insurance (NHI), but the sources of this support have not been clearly identified. This paper shows that support for NHI follows party lines, with Democrats most favoring it, followed by Independents and Republicans. The young, women, blacks, the less educated (among others) also favor NHI more than others, but it is apparently not a "personal need" for the insurance that prompts this support. Lack of adequate insurance coverage, dissatisfaction with current care, or poor access to health care are not associated with support for NHI. Instead, cognizance of the larger socioeconomic issues (particularly rising society-wide health care costs), in addition to political identification, generates support for NHI.
