Just 35% of U.S. voters now support the creation of a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurers.



A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 50% of voters oppose setting up a government health insurance company as President Obama and congressional Democrats are now proposing in their health care reform plan. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.

Rasmussen Reportsâ„¢: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Data Anywhere (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/healthcare/july_2009/50_oppose_government_health_insurance_company - broken link)



Intersting to note the loss of support in the past month from 41%/41% to 35%/50%. I guess they couldn't ram this one through fast enough to get it passed before people had a chance to see what was in it. Of course the Democrats will still pass it because it is, and always has been, about them and their contol over our lives.

Interesting that in the same poll, 72% report that they are following the health care debate at least somewhat closely. This is an example of reporting bias. Only 4% say they aren't following it at all. This group would seem to be wa-a-a-a-a-y over-represented among CD posters...

They must be the greedy bottom feeders that want someone else to pay their way in life.
