Houston Chronicle in the paper today
in the Business Section Section D1
Not only do the vast majority of Texans think having insurance is important for their families seven in ten also want health care coverage for everyone.
And they are willing to pay for it
First of its kind study
Texas Medical Center commissioned Nielsen to poll 1000 Texans over 18 variety of topics
50% said health care was very important ...absolutely essential and 33 % said very important only 5 % said not important
in addition 70% said it's important for the NATION should have UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE with another 36% saying it very important
They are willing to pay for it and think employers should too
Democrats if you want to win Texans....talk HEALTHCARE for ALL
and GOP if you want to lose Texas talk getting the government out of healthcare
Texans want the Government to give Universal Healthcare ....that's the winner
Sudy conducted by Nielsen by Texas Medical Center

(19,362 posts)42% of Texans support Medicare for Everyone
27% said it should come from employers
12% said healthcare should come from the marketplace
so the Texans are savvy to the GOP's message let the Marketplace be competitive and work
They know its BS
