You wouldn’t think so listening to Washington pundits and August recess politicians. According to a recent Rasmussen poll,

Forty-eight percent (48%) of U.S. voters now rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% rate it as poor.

These figures reflect a significant increase in support for the health care system over the past few months. In May, just 35% of adults nationwide rated the system as good or excellent. A year ago, just 29% of Likely Voters rated the system in such positive terms.

The new polling also shows that 80% of those with insurance rate their own coverage as good or excellent. That’s up from 70% in May.

The poll also noted that cost, not universal coverage, was the chief concern of those polled.

So what’s really behind this “push” to get non-universal coverage that will pay by third party for abortions and reimburse non-physicians for telling grandma how to die?
