What Pipes must have meant to say is that policymakers should pay heed to the indictment of the 44 percent surveyed who believe the law is taking us in the wrong direction while completely ignoring the other 44 percent whose verdict does not jive with the political agenda of the Pacific Research Institute and its funding sources.

Indeed, the only category of physicians where we find more physicians believing that the ACA was a step in the wrong direction are the surgical specialist who believe the law is bad news by a wide margin of 60 percent to 28 percent.
