Most Americans Want Public Health Option


Damn straight. Via Taegan-

A new Quinnipiac poll finds 69% of Americans support creation of a government-run health plan to compete with private insurance companies. In fact, 52% of those surveyed said such a plan would keep the private insurance companies honest.

However, even though most of those polled backed creation of a government plan, 53% said they would prefer to buy private health insurance, compared with 28% who would join a government health plan.

Interestingly, a new CNN/Opinion Research survey finds a bare majority supports President Obama's health care plan, 51% to 45%.
