Health Care Reform Doesn't Go Far Enough say the American People

[Joe Steel]

Far from overreaching on health care reform, a plurality of the public thinks President Obama and Democrats have done too little to regulate the insurance industry, hold down costs and extend coverage, a new poll finds.

Forty-three percent of Americans said the health care bill goes "not far enough" in regulating health insurance companies, according to a new CBS survey released Monday evening. Just 18 percent deemed it "about right" and 27 percent thought it "go[es] to far."

Thirty-nine percent said the legislation doesn't achieve strong enough cost controls one of the leading goals of reform as opposed to 24 percent who believed it goes too far and 21 percent that are satisfied.

Public says health care bill doesn’t go ‘far enough’

Let's dump this turkey and give the American People what they want.
