Consumers Like Medicare Better

Consumers give Medicare higher marks than private insurance plans. The majority of Americans who are experienced with "government-run" health insurance, i.e. people over 65, like what they have and don't want to change it. It's now up to educate all the other younger Americans to know what they are missing. We need the option. All other roads lead to ma$$ive corporate profits.

The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll found 62 percent of Americans expressing support for "having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans."

67 percent in a Kaiser Family Foundation poll in April support a public option.

72 percent in the most recent CBS News/New York Times poll want a public option.

More importantly, the higher scores [pictured below] for Medicare are based on perceptions of better access to care. All the myths of the GOP and Blue Dogs simply don't hold up.
