Gallup has an interesting poll up regarding health care
Americans name healthcare access, followed by costs, as the most urgent health problems facing the country today, as they have in recent years. However, with the renewed debate over healthcare reform in 2009, and passage of President Obama’s reform bill in 2010, mentions of both issues have declined over the past two years, while a new concern — too much government involvement in healthcare — has emerged.
How much of a new concern?
The question Gallup asked was “What would you say is the most urgent health care problem facing this country at this time?” Government involvement came in at #5, below access, cost, obesity, and cancer. Notice that it really wasn’t a concern until Democrats pushed their massive ObamaCare boondoggle.
Please notice that it was ranked a distant 3rd.
