I would be curious as to how well public opinion correlates with legislation in regards to healthcare. The 'selling' of healthcare seems to be mostly propaganda, not a comprehensive description of the structures, inputs, and outputs of the healthcare system.
I've always been of the opinion that kind of information should be available next to the ballot box. I just have no idea how it should be presented.
- dagw 9y agoI've always been of the opinion that kind of information should be available next to the ballot box. Even the quickest of comprehensive summaries about a the ins and outs of your average healthcare plan would probably run at least 30 pages (and the actual bills run 100s of pages). Do you really expect to people to read that just before they vote? Honestly, unless you are a hardcore healthcare wonk, reading the 1 page 'propaganda' summary is realistically all you can expect from people.
- monetus 9y agoI completely agree, and no, it shouldn't be a prerequisite for voting. Using a mountain of indigestible information to assuage potential ignorance doesn't make much since... Like I said, I don't know how it should be presented.
