News Media Misreport Health Survey

December 27, 2006

ABC News manipulates polling data to prove suggest that Americans are for Universal Health Care and against HSAs. I guess the truth didn’t fit into their preconceived agendas . . .
Support for universal government-provided coverage fell further when the survey suggested the possibility of higher costs or taxes (35 percent), waiting lists (33 percent), limited choice of doctors (28 percent), or loss of coverage for some treatments (18 percent). ABC News’ coverage did not call any of these a “significant hurdle” for supporters of universal coverage to overcome.
