Jillen Lippincott holds a sign during a rally in front of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) office to show her support of having a strong public health insurance option in the health care reform bill on October 14, 2009 in Coral Gables, Florida.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post survey published today, 57% of Americans support a government-run health insurance program that would compete with private insurance. Will the poll encourage lawmakers to reconsider reform legislation moving through the House and Senate? Do you agree with the survey's findings?
