Obama’s Health Plan Sacked, Pt.6 – Candidates, listen to us!

The fact is, far too little is being addressed in the presidential debate forum concerning health insurance/care reform than is warranted. Not sure why, since this topic remains as the most striking contrast between the two parties and, more importantly, because it’s so vitally important to so many. Although the McCain camp seems to have downgraded health insurance/care reform to be a minor issue based of their priority polls, it seems a little peculiar that 90% (+ or – 3%) of the adults in America believe health insurance/care reform needs to be a top agenda for our next president. These findings resulted from a recent and very comprehensive survey conducted by Harris Interactive, Inc. while being sponsored and analyzed by the Commonwealth Fund.

According to the survey, 82% of America believes that our current health insurance/care system is so bad, it needs a complete overhaul. In the small minority, only 16% of the responding adults felt that our present health insurance/care system was relatively ok and only required ‘minor reform’. So how can we ascribe to comments that undermine serious and aggressive changes. How can the McCain camp relegate this crises in their polls as being ‘minor? Perhaps this is because Mr. McCain’s poll only reflects opinions of the largest contributors…don’t know. In any case, it will truly be a sad day if we ever get stuck with four more years of this. (For more on that study, please refer to the article series’ entitled “The Proactive Health Care Approach“, “Health Insurance/Care Overhaul “ and “Sweeping Demands on Health Care”.).
