Quinnipiac: Public Option Has Broad Support

If only Washington was not so blinded by the health care lobby and corporate contributors, they would see Americans broadly support the public option:

Although 69 percent of voters nationwide say Americans should have the option of government-run health insurance, only 28 percent would choose to be covered by it, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

Not saying people will use, but they want the option. Even 50% of Republicans support it.

The same poll also found that most believe a public option would "keep insurance companies honest."
