Many Marylanders Still Optimistic About Health Care Reform, Poll Finds
Almost half of Marylanders still think the new health care law will have a positive impact on the quality of health care in Maryland, a new Goucher poll found.

The respondents also believed the insurance companies were the most prepared to handle the implementation of the health insurance reform and the federal government was the least prepared.
The poll was conducted by the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College in Towson Oct. 27-31, contacting 665 Maryland residents by land line and cell phone.

Just stay away from that site. I looked at the sign in page for 3 minutes once, and left. My cellphone rang for 3 days with insurance salesmen who knew my name wanting to know if I wanted to shop for insurance!!!!
100% were western Shore calls. If you have no coverage then any coverage will be better. Can you afford it, an entirely different question. Will the quality be better for people that currently have insurance, absolutely not. To make it a viable system the healthy people have to pay so unhealthy people can make claims. That is an equation that no politician can change. Then you add a ton of gov't employees to oversee it, a recipe for disaster.
Add 10,000 government administrators to an existing system and tell me it's going to save me money.
ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi will be the first to sell that.
