Health Care Chart

A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll shows some interesting things about Americans' opinions about the health care reform bill.  It came in as the fourth most important reason people were voting (at 17%) but when you break it down into against some/all or for some/all people seem to come up about 50/50 with a slight advantage to the against side.  But if  you dig in just a little bit about this there's really only one thing people are totally opposed to:  the individual mandate to purchase health insurance.

The KFF's charts pack (.pdf format) is a really interesting study of the health care issue's impact on the last election and of American's opinions on it.  Well worth studying the entire poll and the questions asked, if you're the kind of person that like to know what he/she is talking about.  I know this will not affect our conservative friends as they will have stopped reading at the first line above that opposes their world view.
