Document ActionsNot What the People Want or Will SupportWe have been examing the data from our surveys of what people want and value in health care. It is clear that what is important to the people is not being discussed. The Democrats focus on expanding public programs; the Republicans want personal responsibility and private insurance. See our comparison chart. The majority of Americans want neither, yet the majority wants universal coverage. That means the major barrier to health care reform is not the stakeholders, insurers, and all the others that people point fingers at. The barrier to reform is the political parties' inability to signficantly and sincerely reach across the aisle or to the listen to the people of America. Therefore, all of their proposals are not what the people want or will ultimately support. Cheers and more later.
