Good News for Single Payer, Bad News for Insurance Companies [View all]

http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=3562

This has to be good news for the future of single payer.

And bad news for insurance companies.

Anti-insurance company animus is growing in the USA — especially among young people.

A recent national poll found that fully 59 percent of respondents said they would be inclined to favor the individual in civil litigation that pitted an individual against an insurance company.

But for respondents in the youngest age category — individuals 18 to 29 — fully 71 percent said that they would be inclined to favor the individual over the insurance company.

That’s 15 percent higher than among all adults age 30 or over.
