It reflects the honest views of those who have voted. The real question is if it is representative. First of all, Obama wants to make insurance more available to all. And change the system so that it is cheaper, and also so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Holland and Switzerland where private companies are involved in providing insurance.
Second, of course universal health-cover sucks. That is why we in Western Europe have it. We think, hmm, our healthcare system sucks. I know, lets keep it. I guess that is the same with Japan and Canada as well.
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.

It doesn't pass the smell test.
obama's health plan just shifts the money for the taxpayers to pay the bill and brother we will really be in trouble.
He is pretty clever at what he is doing..YOU will NOT be covered like he says...nada...YOU will be waiting for months to even see a Dr. and God help you if you are a Senior..YOU are down the tube for care...
Like one of his buddies said...you seniors will just have to accept the way you are and live with it.. instead of getting care..No medical help for them at all.
Be informed about what it is instead of listening to the rhetoric.
Oh yes, another little tidbit...you will be fined big bucks if you do not get his insurance plan that he is promoting. It's around a thousand dollars.
You better hope and pray it does not go thru.

They are rigging polls and we have a dictator running uncontrolably wild.Congress must stop this health care plan for it is the wrong time and way too costly.their are too many unknown factors that could throw us into a real financial mess.Look at Canada how their people can`t get the care for 6 months if even that.

if it relatively is like one typo it is not a great deal and that i don't care if each little thing is decrease cased or maybe if. i in basic terms HATE whilst there are distinctive blunders or the grammar is so undesirable which you won't be in a position to appreciate what the guy is looking first of all. I additionally won't be in a position to stand run on sentences. it relatively is like one huge paragraph going from subject count to grievance to question without punctuation!!! ahhhh!! haha :P

This is how polls work, they select a senior citizen and decide how he does will determine how the rest will do. They provide him with public medical insurance and he still cannot get the treatments he needs although he was the only one in this plan. And his taxes doubled even though he wasn't working and had no income.

A simple google search for yahoo health care poll shows on the first page two liberal sites requesting that its readers stuff the ballot box.

For the most part, Yahoo polls are simple, fun polls, versus a scientific poll typically used to "accurately" gage a specific position.

Didn't see it, but most Americans DO favor health care reform. Republicans and Boss Limbaugh want America to fail.
