Republicans, Democrats Disagree On Quality Of U.S. Health Care System, Poll Finds

Who knows where all of this will bottom out with the various plans and issues...there's only one pool large enough in my small estimation that would be large enough to cover everyone and collect from everyone for a universal care solution and that would be sales tax...do it...done deal....distribute the funds...which may be a headache the government may not desire...but we're not getting anywhere very fast these days...in the meantime who can figure out what is covered, who qualifies, etc. The money for health care coverage will eventually run out, as well as funding to research...so does anybody have a better idea?

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to call the U.S. health care system the best in the world, according to a Harvard University School of Public Health and Harris Interactive poll released on Thursday, Reuters reports. According to the poll, 68% of Republicans said that they consider the U.S. health care system the best in the world, compared with 32% of Democrats and 40% of independents.
For the poll, researchers from March 5 through March 8 asked a nationally representative sample of 1,026 U.S. residents whether they consider the U.S. health care system the best in the world. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
