    Lloyd- can you please spin this for us! thank you!!

    Public option- people don't want it! PERIOD

    Just 35% of voters support the so-called “public option” - a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurers - as President Obama and congressional Democrats propose in their health care plan. Fifty percent (50%) oppose a government-run health insurance company.

    HIGHER HEALTHCARE COSTS- not lower!!

    At this time, voters are skeptical about the ability of the reform effort to help control the cost of health care. Just 23% believe passage of the reform legislation will lead to lower health care costs. Most voters (53%) say it will lead to higher costs, while 18% expect prices to remain about the same

    WORSE QUALITY OF CARE- not better!!

    By 50% to 23% margin, voters expect that passage of the congressional health care reform bill will cause the quality of care to go down.

    EXACTLY WHAT THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NEEDS!

    The people are speaking...are the Liberals listening!

    Last month, 58% of American adults told CNN pollsters they are "very concerned" that current efforts to reform the health care system will reduce the quality of health care they receive.
