Seventy-one percent of people who responded to a Real Estate Weekly poll say they don’t expect the health care reform bill passed by Congress to increase demand locally for medical office space. Twenty percent say it will cause doctors and clinics to look for more room to treat newly insured patients and 9% were undecided. More than 100 people participated in the survey. Some national real estate experts say that by putting 32 million formerly uninsured people under medical coverage, demand for medical services will increase.
