Well, in the latest WaPo/ABC poll, 33% of those polled were Democrats, and only 20% were Republicans…

           Democrat  Republican  Independent
10/18/09      33         20           42

And here is the fuzzy question in question…

8. Would you support or oppose having the government create a new health insurance

plan to compete with private health insurance plans?

           Support      Oppose
10/18/09   57           40

The only problem with that question is that private insurance can’t compete with the government.  It isn’t possible.  It is fundamentally not possible.

The government does not need to make a profit.  They don’t have overhead, they don’t have to meet a budget.  They have the power to tax.  Private insurance does not have that power.

Oh well…I guess the Liberal Media can continue to be the lap dogs of the Government as opposed to the guard dogs for the people.
