50% Oppose Government Health Insurance Company

[Revmitchell]

Just 35% of U.S. voters now support the creation of a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurers.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 50% of voters oppose setting up a government health insurance company as President Obama and congressional Democrats are now proposing in their health care reform plan. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.

In mid-June, 41% of American adults thought setting up a government health insurance company to compete with private health insurance companies was a good idea, but the identical number (41%) disagreed.

I oppose it, but I also know it's going to happen.

And, like everything else...government handouts, once given, are never taken back. Rather, they become a ploy to buy votes. And buy votes they will.

The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

I'm sorry...but these socialist pigs need to quit meddling in my life.

Any act of congress that promotes the general welfare or involves interstate commerce is constitutional as long as it doesn't violate other provisions.

An ideologically driven socialist like Obama would never believe that the proletariat are smart enough to make their own choices.

Nor does he care.
