A new poll shows that 57 percent of Americans support a government-sponsored insurance option, and that soars to 76 percent if it’s limited to those who can’t get affordable private insurance.
So why do 43% of people oppose the public option?
Here’s how lawmakers feel about the public option:
House Yes -220; No-9; Undecided-210
Senate Yes-51; No-39; Undecided-10
Combined Yes-271; No-48; Undecided-220
Here are 39 Senators who oppose the public option. Hit them up and voice your concerns!
