It looks like Rasmussen has found in this poll why Obama and the donkey’s healthcare takeover by government is going bad. The democrats could not come out and admit neither what the end game was, nor the fact that if they got their way, costs would go up, and go up drastically, and quality would plummet. So they lied and the MSM carried their water for them. But this was such a big thing that the facts could not be hidden. And the more facts come out, the clearer it looks like there is no plan to fix healthcare, and the more drastic and fascist the tactics by the ones pushing for the government takeover, over time of course, and straddle us with a single payer system: the end of the road for the left from the first day they contemplated the whole socialist healthcare takeover decades ago. Check out the numbers.
Thirty-two percent (32%) of voters nationwide favor a single-payer health care system where the federal government provides coverage for everyone. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% are opposed to a single-payer plan. Fifty-two percent (52%) believe such a system would lead to a lower quality of care while 13% believe care would improve. Twenty-seven percent (27%) think that the quality of care would remain about the same.
Forty-five percent (45%) also say a single-payer system would lead to higher health care costs while 24% think lower costs would result. Nineteen percent (19%) think prices would remain about the same. There’s wide political disagreement over the single-payer issue. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats favor a single-payer system, but 87% of Republicans are opposed to one. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 22% favor a single-payer approach while 63% are opposed.
I wonder what percentage of the 32% that want this are just dying to get this so they can quit their job and totally sponge of the productive. It is obvious that people that believe in self reliance and work do not want this thing too. But there was another set of numbers that speaks volumes:
As Congress has debated potential reforms, confidence in U.S. health care system has increased. Just 19% of Americans now rate the overall system as poor while 48% say it’s good or excellent.
Sure 48% isn’t that high – and in the interest of full disclosure I am in that 48% - but the 19% is telling. We are about to scrap a system that is liked by the majority of people. All so the left can create a single payer system that favors them politically, while changing the best healthcare system in the world into something you would find in Europe (if we are lucky) where they use rigged metrics that emphasizes meaningless socialist criteria to prop up their crappy systems.
Oh yeah, just in case some of you collectivists plan to argue that the end is not a single payer system, have a good look.
