The estimate is conservative, the damage caused as a whole could be even higher, “said Jerry John, a spokesman for South Western Insurance Information Service, which represents about 85 percent of homeowners and self-insurance in Oklahoma and Texas.

John said, the residents have had hail, water and assault rifles from their insurers immediately.

 A new national study reflects an increase in the number of American doctors of taking over national health insurance.

Oklahoma Many doctors are sceptical towards the idea.

A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a leading magazines health professionals, reports that in the last year, a 2200 survey found, 59% of physicians “support the government on national legislation health insurance , “while 32 percent against, and 9% are neutral.

A similar study has shown during the year 2002, the support of 49 percent of respondents doctor, with 40 percent against.

How would it?
National insurance plans are usually manages federal social health insurance, which guarantees health insurance for all, as Medicare for the elderly.

Plans for the rule eliminate or reduce significantly the role of health insurance in the private health care financing, but still, patients can see a doctor of their choice.

“Across the board, more doctors are of the opinion that our fragmented and for-profit, the system is an obstacle good patient care, and care now of the majority of the national drug insurance,” said Dr. Ronald T. Ackermann, Associate Director of the Center for Health Policy Research, and the professionalism of Indiana University’s School of Medicine. He was co-author of the study.

Ada Dr. Jim Wight, though, said the only way to national legislation health insurance might work, that the major reforms to medical insurance, errors and their high prices among all physicians.

“It is rarely mentioned, as part of the problem in the cost of medicine, but it is,” said Wight.

What do doctors think Oklahoma?
Ken King, director of the 5000-member of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, which is based in Oklahoma City, said: “There is a general feeling, the doctor OSMA members, they do not have the support of national health insurance, but the results of the survey reflect a growing sense of frustration among doctors on the issues of reimbursement and patient access to care. ”

For an example, King cites reimbursement rates for Medicare, which should result in a reduction of 10.6 per cent in July.

“Without Congressional action, the formula for annual payment for updates of illness, payment catastrophic consequences for physicians, who in the foreseeable future, are not able to provide, to see, Oklahoma’s elderly and disabled persons , “said the king.

Oklahoma doctors lose about $ 130 million for the care of elderly and disabled people and patients from July 2008 to December 2009 by the proposed cuts in 10.6% of Medicare payments, he said.

“My feeling is that the growing frustration of Oklahoma by the shortage of doctors will be at the Palais des Congress and the Bush administration to repair the damage,” he said.

From preference national health insurance, Dr Priya Samant, a doctor Hands-health care services for the homeless in Oklahoma City.

“I support national health insurance. I work with so many people homeless patients, and many of them are homeless because they do not have health care,” said Samant.

“The health sector is currently very fragmented. I see no better alternatives.”

In the Annals of Internal Medicine study, the assumption of National Insurance is high among psychiatrists, doctors for children, cardiology and emergency medicine doctors.

Fifty-five percent of surgeons general support national health insurance - doubling their level of support since 2002, according to the study.

The doctors expressed concern about the lack of patient access to medical care because of rising costs and patient amount of inadequate insurance, the study.

Currently, an estimated 47 million Americans and the lack of health insurance for 50 million underinsured.

At the same time, the cost of health care in the United States, an increase of more than 7 percent a year, twice the rate of inflation, of the study.
