Neil's Spotlight
Who's trusted in the debate over the health insurance system?

October 1, 2009

According to a new poll conducted by National Public Radio, the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health – Americans have the most trust in groups representing nurses, patients, doctors and seniors to make the best recommendations for our nation’s health care system.

These are the same associations and organizations that support the principles contained in America’s Affordable Health Choices Act because it guarantees access to high quality, affordable health care for all Americans, reins in health care costs for individuals and businesses, and will protect and increase consumers’ choices.

How much confidence do you have in the following to recommend the right thing for the country when it comes to health care? Groups representing:
Nurses: 79 percent
