That’s 26% too many given what an objective disaster the policy has been. But the really interesting question is how 26% of Massachusetts residents can think it’s a success while only 10% think it’s made anything better. You don’t think they’re unblinking partisans embracing the left’s ideological Big Government catechism, do you?
Twenty-six percent (26%) of Massachusetts voters say their state’s health care reform effort has been a success. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds that 37% say the reform effort has been a failure, while another 37% are not sure. Only 10% of Bay State voters say the quality of health care has gotten better as a result of the reform plan while 29% say it has gotten worse. Most (53%) say the quality of care has not changed.
As for cost, 21% say the reform has made health care more affordable in Massachusetts. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say health care is now less affordable while 44% see no change… By a 37% to 17% margin, Massachusetts liberals consider the program a success. By a 55% to 18% margin, conservatives in the state say it’s been a failure.
I hope the Senate passes Cap and Trade quickly so Congress can put partisanship aside and work with the White House to ruin our health care system too.
