Poll: Most voters want to keep some form of private insurance

A Hill-HarrisX poll found just 13 percent of registered voters approve of a single-payer healthcare system that eliminates private plans, The Hill reported.

Here are their key findings:

  • 32 percent of voters want a government-run health system with the option to buy supplementary private health plans
  • 26 percent of voters want a "public option," or a government health plan available to all, with the ability to opt out and buy a private plan
  • 15 percent of voters want zero government involvement in the healthcare system
  • 14 percent of voters want to keep the current system

The poll, published Feb. 7, was conducted among 1,001 registered voters Feb. 1-2. Read the full story here
