WASHINGTON: Despite a bitter partisan battle between the White House, insurance companies and Republicans, a new poll shows that a clear majority of Americans support a government-run option in any reform of the country's health-care system.
Regardless of opposition of the insurance companies and numerous republicans towards Obama's universal Health care plan, statistics show that support for the one player universal Health care has risen from 52 percent from mid-August to a 57% support. However, 40% still are opposed to this type of Health Care. Nonetheless, the issue of public option or the mandate for everyone in the nation to have some type of health insurance is still in progress with the majorities. Obama is trying to hold on to his democratic congressional votes, as well as to liberal parties, while trying to get a couple of republican votes. Over a half of the people in the US favor the requirement of having health care for all its citizens.
In my opinion, I think that Universal Health Care as a public option would be the best decision because it helps the poor get health insurance, while the middle class working families and the elite class can get their own private health care, if they prefer to. However, it would create an abundance of competition amongst other health Care HMO, which could significantly increase or decrease rates of health care groups, and even lead to elimination of private insurance groups.
