The companies that provide health care and insurance value your opinions. You are always anonymous at our survey sites. Surveys change and questions are added from time to time so check back and tell your friends about these survey sites.
This site offers perspective on current health care plans and a checklist and statement of options with features that should be available to all US citizens. Pricing, availabilities, and extra-cost options are presented for selection.
 
Great Britain and Canada have nationalized health care systems. In each country there is one payer for health care services: the national government. These systems are called single payer systems.
In each country the health care system has been known by the same term since being established. That term is socialized medicine.
In 2010, the US Congress passed legislation that established the federal government as the only insurer and approver of health care services for all Americans. All Americans will be covered by this federal health care system. The federal government will pay for only those health care costs that it approves. The federal government will be the only legal insurance provider.
That is socialized medicine.
In 1994, when Clinton attempted to pass health care legislation, it was correctly called socialized medicine. Americans recognized it as socialized medicine and rejected it. Do Americans today fail to understand that Obamacare is socialized medicine?
 
 
Do you know which health insurance denied coverage more frequently to more individuals than any other insurance plan in 2009? The correct answer is Medicare. I knew that.
 I did not know that.
Do you know that Obamacare increases taxes immediately, but does not start to provide healthcare benefits until 2014? I knew that.
 I did not know that.
Obama’s Budget Director, Peter Orszag, admitted one month after Obamacare became law that a "powerful Rationing Panel (Not Doctors) will control health care levels". This non-doctor panel known as the Independent Payment Advisory Board has the power to deny or allow medical procedures, allocate medical resources, and control the use of the American health care system.
 
For Perspective:  A recent check of a major US health care providers' Internet site listed ten plans available. Each plan includes options and features. The name of each of the ten plans included ambiguous variations of "Advantage", "Select", & "Choice".
Who are the employees -- actual American individual employees -- who design these critically essential health care plans aimed at family and individual consumers? Why would these individuals intentionally design their products to be confusing and ambiguous?
The employees who fail to serve their fellow Americans with reasonable marketing of such products are not worthy of serving their fellow Americans.
Employees implement policies designed to confuse their fellow Americans.
US health care would be more complex & less efficient if put under federal government control.
The employees are just employees following orders to keep their jobs.
The major health care insurance providers take their profit motive to unethical extremes.

The US health care system functions well -- it provides health care for most who need it.
The US government should not meddle with the operation of medical services being provided.

7.  How likely is it that you would support replacement of ObamaCare with less costly, more effective reforms that would maintain the nation's best healthcare in the world? Changes would include:

1.) Insurance coverage for all legal citizens with reimbursement by need, mandated provider cost containment. Hospitals, doctors, nursing facilities would not be impacted except by the cost containment mandate.  2.) Individuals could competitively purchase health insurance across state lines, thereby lowering costs.  3.) Lawyers would not have continued wide-ranging ability to sue and thereby increase costs for everyone.
Strongly support these changes
Support these changes with other reforms
Against this type of change
List other reforms you want:
8.  How important is it that you and your family have government approved health care insurance with cost reimbursement based upon your ability to pay monthly premiums?
Very important
Somewhat important
I'd like to have it, but it doesn't impact my life much.
Not important
It would not effect me one way or another.
9.  Regarding the deductible aspect of a national health care insurance program, what do you feel is fair?
A one-time-deductible for each illness per person per household
A calendar-year deductible for each illness per household
This is very meaningful to me.
I do not care about the deductible aspect.
I do not understand the difference in this issue.
