Data were obtained by surveying North Carolina orthodontists by means of a mailed questionnaire. Their responses were coded to make possible analysis by computer and were compared to responses from a national sample of dentists in the 1975 Survey of Dentists. Both North Carolina orthodontists and dentists nationwide agreed that some form of dental care should be provided if a national health insurance system were established. Compared to the dentists surveyed nationwide, the orthodontists favored a wider range of coverages but advocated providing a narrower scope of dental services. They indicated more strongly their general belief that a government health program would lead to regulation outside the private sector. The orthodontists disagreed more strongly with the claim that government health programs could provide more people with high-quality dental care. Both groups anticipated that comprehensive dental care in a national health insurance system would result in fixed fees set by the government. Only 62 percent of the orthodontists polled were familiar with HMOs. Of this group, nearly 90 percent chose not to contract with these organizations.
数据是通过向北卡罗来纳州的正畸医生邮寄调查问卷获得的。他们的回答被编码以便于计算机分析，并与1975年牙医调查中全国牙医样本的回答进行比较。北卡罗来纳州的正畸医生和全国的牙医都认为，如果建立国家医疗保险系统，应该提供某种形式的牙科护理。与全国接受调查的牙医相比，正畸医生赞成更广泛的保险范围，但主张提供更窄范围的牙科服务。他们更强烈地表明了他们的普遍信念，即政府健康计划将导致私营部门以外的监管。正畸医生更强烈地不同意政府健康计划可以为更多人提供高质量牙科护理的说法。两组都预计国家医疗保险系统中的全面牙科护理将导致政府设定固定费用。接受调查的正畸医生中只有62%熟悉健康维护组织（HMO）。在这一组中，近90%选择不与这些组织签约。
