Majority of US Wants Government-Run Health Care
Clipped Fresh — By Greg on July 1, 2009 at 11:27 AMNew Poll: Majority Supports Government-Run Health Option – Roll Call.
FROM THE ARTICLE: A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday gauging registered voters’ views of health care reform underscores the political complexity of the issue, with the results offering ammunition to both the supporters and opponents of President Barack Obama’s No. 1 legislative priority.
The national poll of 3,063 registered voters showed that 69 percent believe Americans should have the option of purchasing government-run health insurance. But only 28 percent of those polled said they would take advantage of government-run insurance, a number that could suggest a lack of confidence in Washington’s ability to administer coverage.
The survey was conducted June 23-29 and has a 1.8-point margin of error.
