Poll: Majority Believe Private Companies Provide Better Health Care Than Gov’t

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A majority of likely voters believe that private health insurance companies are better at providing quality health care coverage than the federal government, according to a poll from the American Action Forum.

Fifty-seven percent said they had more trust in private care, while only 26 percent of voters said they believed the federal government was better at providing quality health services.

Forty-nine percent of respondents said that private insurance companies were better at providing care for those with serious health conditions like cancer and HIV. Only 34 percent of respondents thought the federal government provided better care for serious conditions.

The poll also asked likely voters if they thought private companies or the federal government provided more affordable care. Forty-eight percent responded in favor of private insurance companies, while 39 percent chose the government.
