Healthcare

As You Observe the Wingnut Hooligans…

...and their obnoxious protests against, you know, affordable, portable, reliable healthcare, bear in mind the numbers from the latest CNN poll.

-77 percent of Americans support "major structural changes in the nation’s health care
system in order to make sure that all Americans have health insurance."

-74 percent of Americans support "major structural changes in the nation’s health care
system in order to reduce health care costs."

As for the current status of the public option:

Quinnipiac: 62 percent support "public option."...

Washington Post/ABC News: 54 percent support a "government-run plan." ...

Time: 56 percent favor a "government-sponsored" option....

NY Times/CBS News: 66 percent favor a "government administered" plan....

McClatchy: 52 percent say "it is necessary to create a public health insurance plan." ...

Certainly not the stratospheric 70-percentile numbers from a while back, but these numbers remain significant given the loud noises about "government-run healthcare."
