I found this at Instapundit. It’s a Rasmussen poll finding released August 10 that everyone should think about:
"When it comes to health care decisions, 51% of the nation’s voters fear the federal government more than private insurance companies. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 41% hold the opposite view and fear the insurance companies more. Seven percent (7%) are not sure who they fear the most."
And when government IS the insurance company, perhaps even the 7% undecided will at last be able to figure out which they fear most. Ya think?
UPDATE [HGS]: Great minds thinking alike; I just finished writing a post on this, and found Mike's already on the case. Here's my take on the polling:
Nancy McBotox's assertion notwithstanding, respected pollster Scott Rasmussen's latest findings indicate that, in a showdown between those "eeeevil" insurers and gummint bureaucrats, We The People are a darned sight more afraid of the latter than the former:
"When it comes to health care decisions, 51% of the nation’s voters fear the federal government more than private insurance companies."
And even those who claim to fear insurers more than the government are unlikely to buy into the ad hominem: "just 25% agree with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that health insurance companies are "villains."
The news just keeps getting worse for ObamaCare advocates:
"(A) solid majority of those over 40 fear the government more."
We know that ObamaCare has Granny securely in its sights, and it appears that our "mature" citizenry is becoming more and more aware of this. And they're unlikely to take kindly to being called "unAmerican" by our Betters in Washington©.
