The answer to that question depends on whether you think physicians lack insight. I think that most physicians are smart enough to look at the national insurance that already exists (Medicaid & Medicare) and to recognize that their reimbursements would be cut. I think they can balance that against the complexities of the current system and some might be willing to trade somewhat lower pay for the ability to focus on providing care. 20% of health care costs come from physician pay, of which about half goes to the cost of running a practice. Most reformers know that cutting physician pay, while part of almost any plan, is not going to be the most important way to save money.
