Has anyone seen these polls?

Can't there be a better solution that works with the private sector to improve healthcare for everyone and bring the 30% up closer to the 70% instead of lowering the level of care to one common denominator?

Heh, polls I was looking at actually show those numbers almost flipped.

Also, most Western European nations that have universal health care also have private health care that is available for those who want it.

Also, like I said, it wouldn't be "complete government control".

The government doesn't control it, the government pays for care which is delivered in the -private- sector, like how Medicare works now. Doctors are paid on in a fee-for-service model.
