So, which do you prefer?

[debbierlus]

A government mandated private health insurance with a meaningless public option (not universally available, rates not tied to Medicare, available from day 1)...

Or

No reform at this time.

Those are the two options on the table.

Government mandated purchase of private health insurance with no real public option

or

No reform at this time


The third option is to fight for single payer, and I wish us all the success in the world in doing just that. However, this poll is for the first two choices.

1. It

Isn't reform it is re-pay

[SteppingRazor]

2. I vote for option 1...

followed by incremental expansion of the public option until we get to a single-payer system.

[Ilsa]

3. My concern is that partial reform will be so expensive because

there are no cost containments that it will fail miserably, leaving only the existing system and give reform a bad name.

4. Aren't they essentially the same choice?

No public option means no reform.

[Hutzpa]

5. Kick and unrec

your poll is skewed.

Why would you suggest no reform?

6. You should get a job with Zogby since

you're so good at making up pushpolls not based on fact.

9. Well since your premise isn't necessarily factual, I'll take the govt. option.
