More Consensus than Disagreement

More consensus than disagreement is evident between voters in Iowa and Washington State on issues in health care.

Consensus doesn’t make news, but the surprising findings from two market surveys of voters views on health care reform, the CodeBlueNow! Pulse®, show nearly identical agreement in Iowa and Washington State.

There was only one statement - how to pay for health care - than brought any statistical different responses in the findings from Iowa and Washington.  It is remarkable that a red state and a blue state, with significantly different economies, education levels and urban and rural demographics, could have such overwhelming consensus. 

For more information, please read CodeBlueNow!'s reports on the comparative findings:

The Pulse® and the Presidential Election

It is also clear from these findings that neither party is addressing issues in health care that are important to a wide range of voters.
