How important is it to you that Congress pass health care reform this year?

Very imporant
Somewhat important
Not very important
Not important at all


The Sauk Valley Newspapers serve a conservative district in western Illinois that used to be the home district of Dennis Hastert. Currently there is a first-term democrat (Foster) in that man's office, and he is on the record as supporting the public option.

2. Very

Very important, but only if there is a public option. Passing "reform" that requires everyone to sign with private insurers would only ensure more profit for them without real regulation and cost-cutting.

21. Freeped. Not important at all now at 60%.

But there are only 460 total votes at this time, so it's doable.

[ProudDad]

37. Not really...

Anyone who has read the pieces of crap that pass for "health reform" in Congress HAS to vote not important at all on this (poorly written) push poll....

[OneAngryDemocrat]

46. Well...

Well... it's being big-time freep'd anyways.

23. I'm not sure what choice to pick.

It's very important to me that authentic, liberal, people-friendly health care reform gets passed this year.

It's not at all important that health insurance reforms benefiting the industry get passed.

27. All depends on what "reform" means - if it is the Baucus bill. I'd rather they fought "reform".

36. Aw, you don't want me to vote in this one.

If the choice is between ANY of the bills currently in Congress...I'd have to vote Not Important at All...

In fact, I'd say that it's CRITICAL that NONE of those disgusting give-aways to the private insurance corporations be passed -- VOTE NO ON ANY OF THEM!!!

48. Not important is winning!

This is Reagan country, so what would you expect. Illinois runs the gamut from conservative to liberal according to the area/county you live in. :shrug:

[OneAngryDemocrat]

49. Yes, But...

It is Reagan 'country', but... it is also, for the first time in a long time, a democratic Congressional district.

[rebel with a cause]

50. Glad to hear it.

I'm from the southern part of the state and we have had a Democratic Congressman forever and state representatives, but it is still mostly red when it comes to national politics. We could have a civil war down here when it comes to the presidential elections, but we Democrats would really have to fight hard to hold our own.
