Anybody else get her newsletter PUSH POLL in their junk mailbox? (0.00 / 0)

I checked stop insurance costs since mine just went up 17%, more taxes please since I am taking stevewvu's advice and not worrying about those who make more than me, and I don't care about the made up CBO cost number the Gee Oh Pee and the AP wants to quote.

Your Views on Healthcare Reform

How concerned are you about the issue of healthcare reform?

Very concerned
Somewhat concerned
Not really concerned
Not at all concerned

Are you happy with your current health insurance or health coverage?

Very pleased
Somewhat pleased
Not really pleased
Not at all pleased

One idea that has been proposed to address healthcare reform is the creation of a "public option," which would be a government-run health plan designed to compete with private health insurance. Proponents of this proposal suggest that the introduction of a government-run plan is the only way to bring the competition necessary to bring down healthcare costs. Opponents raise concerns that a "public option" would lead private employees to drop private health coverage for their employees, forcing them onto the government-run plan.

How do you feel about the prospect of a public option?

I fully support a public plan
I would hesitantly support a public plan
I have reservations about a public plan
I could never support a public plan
Unsure

The Congressional Budget Office recently suggested that healthcare reform is likely to cost more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years. How concerned are you about the costs of proposed healthcare reform?

Very concerned
Somewhat concerned
Not really concerned
Not at all concerned

Are you willing to pay higher taxes to pay for healthcare reform?

Yes
No
Maybe

What aspects of healthcare reform do you feel should be given priority? (Feel free to select more than one.)

Lowering insurance costs
Creating incentives for preventative medicine
Ensuring coverage for pre-existing conditions
Protecting the relationship between the patient and the provider
Ensuring access to specialists
Ensuring that those who are happy with their current healthcare plan can keep it

You notice I did not check the patient/provider relationship. My insurance just screwed my up, so what is to protect or be happy about?

How about you? Did it end up in your junk email? Can you find a way to answer as a progressive. Let's not ignore this. I will forward mine to you if you drop me your email, in case you are not lucky enough to already me on her list.
