According to the latest Zogby poll, independents have turned against Obama-like health care “reform.” Republicans and Democrats serve as mirror images of each other, but a majority of independents say no thanks to budget-busting, choice-destroying government control.
Respondents were presented with two statements describing different universal healthcare plans and asked whether they agree or disagree with each:
Universal Plan A – “Do you agree or disagree with a universal healthcare plan that would require everyone in the U.S. to have health insurance with federal help for those who cannot pay the premiums?”
Universal Plan B – “Do you agree or disagree with a universal healthcare plan where the government would provide health insurance for everyone in the U.S. under a single-payer plan, similar to everyone having Medicare?”
Plan A

Plan B
| Overall | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |

Perhaps even more important over the long-term, most Americans don’t believe Social Security and Medicare will be there for their kids. Most young people don’t believe it will be there for them. The American people seem to be wising up!
