their results of this survey are quite perceptive, and provide a decent gauge where the current public opinion is regarding the health industry
Here are just some juicy tidbits April tracking poll, as reported by medical News Today :.
- 59% say that the reform of health care is "more important than ever"
- 36% skipped doctor and check dentist ups because of high costs
- 26% that someone in their household had trouble paying the health care bills in the past year
- 71% support raising taxes for the high income Americans to pay for the reform of health care
- 67% "strongly" or "somewhat" in favor of a public health insurance plan to compete with private plans
So what does that mean?
we see that the public option begins to lean heavily in the direction of "act now" on health care and reform of health insurance, and a growing number of Americans are beginning to feel the burn of rising costs.
politically, this is great news for legislators itching to pass the sweeping reform. The Kaiser survey suggests they will have the support of the majority, and may be able to push through legislation the widest and most complete in the recent history of health care.
But take these polls with a grain of salt. While they are a snapshot of public opinion in this, things can change, as a wink - especially with our current economic problems and variables
And as most can guess, Democrats and Republicans do not. so agree on how we will reform.
Ah the joys of health care policy.
