Health care on the minds of 9 our of 10 U.S. President voters

Translate Into:

Filed under:

It's enlightening to head that a new survey concluded with almost nine out of 10 Americans saying that health care will at least be somewhat important to them in this year's Presidential race.

I indicated in many posts from 2007 that health care in the U.S. deserves consideration as one of (or the) top issues that voters should consider when evaluating the Presidential candidates this year all the way until the final election in November. Why? Well, there are over 40 million with no health insurance living in the U.S., for starters.

The Commonwealth Fund conducted the study that indicated such a high concern about U.S. health care among voters. 86 percent (out of 3,501 surveyed) indicated that the health care platform of Presidential candidates would be very to somewhat important in a decision of which candidate to support.

That is excellent news. Health care costs, insurance costs and related items are in need of so much work in the U.S. health care system that the next President will have quite a job just in that area alone.
