Support Health Care Reform Without the 'Public Option'?
Independent Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman says he'll join Republicans to filibuster against the so-called "public option," adding that he thought Congress should set aside the idea and revisit it in a few years if other reforms don't work. Would you support health care reform if it did not contain the government-run insurance option?
This comes with the options; "Absolutely. Congress should stick to legislating laws and regulations, and let the free-market system work," "Probably. I'm still unsure whether reforms will cut my medical bills, but something needs to be done," "No. The current health care system works fine. Leave it alone and let the free-market system work," "Undecided."
Notice anything missing there? How about, "No. I support a public option." The poll is under "YOU DECIDE" in big letters. Kind of looks like FOX has already decided how you feel about a public option, doesn't it?
Bonus fun; in italics at the bottom of the poll, you see the disclaimer, "This is not a scientific poll."
No kidding.
