You can click over and there's a PDF with the full results, but let me just hit the highlights so you can tear your hair out now...
Most Americans believe government can play a role in fixing the health care system. Two-thirds say the federal government should guarantee that all Americans have health insurance.
I don't even need to finish that series I've been doing on the constitution to know that this one is none of the federal government's business.
Eighty-four percent of Americans favor expanding government programs in order to give health insurance to all uninsured children.
Again, no real surprise. We could probably even get some of the regulations out of the way of nuclear power if we could convince enough people that it was "for the children".
Still, there is a minimal bright spot in all of this:
Less than one in three, however, say the government would do a better job than private insurance companies at actually providing medical coverage. Forty-four percent said the government would be worse as a health care provider than private companies.
