News Flash: People More Concerned About Keeping Their Insurance

Talk about a Duh! moment.

Fear of losing private insurance trumps public option

Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters nationwide say guaranteeing that no one is forced to change their health insurance coverage is a higher priority than giving consumers the choice of a "public option" health insurance company.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 29% take the opposite view. They say it’s more important to give people a government-sponsored non-profit health insurance option.

Most liberal voters say giving people the choice of a public option is more important. But most moderates put guaranteeing that no one is forced to change their health insurance first, and conservatives overwhelmingly agree with them.

The fact that the Democrats are hellbent on having a public option first shows how out of touch with regular people they are.
