Socialized Healthcare Ballot | The Heritage Foundation

1. Do you agree with The Heritage Foundation that America MUST reject socialized health care?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

2. People across America are already feeling the pain of government-run health care thanks to Obamacare’s failures. Under government control, millions of Americans have seen their policies canceled, and average health insurance premiums have skyrocketed for people purchasing their insurance.

———

Do you believe that increased government control of America’s healthcare system has caused suffering for people in your state?

Yes

No

Not Sure/ No Opinion

3. Proposals for socialized health care would REPLACE Medicare with a new government program. Almost 58 million seniors and disabled Americans would be displaced from their current Medicare plan and put into a crowded, costly new government-run system.

———

Does it bother you that the Biden Administration and the Leftists in Congress are threatening to upend seniors’ health care coverage?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

4. Socialized health care plans being pushed in Congress would severely restrict Americans’ ability to spend their own money to pay a doctor for medical services outside of the government’s system. This would make doctors beholden to bureaucrats, not patients, for the financing of their medical practice, giving Washington veto power over health care decisions.

———

Do you oppose banning private health care coverage?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

5. Current plans for socialized medicine would potentially cost over $52 trillion, at a time when this country is already more than $30 trillion in debt. The income tax hikes, payroll tax increases, and additional higher taxes on you and your fellow Americans that proponents claim will pay for their plans, wouldn’t even begin to cover the costs.

———

Are you concerned that the Left’s push for socialized healthcare is going to bankrupt our country?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

6. The Veterans Administration (VA) health program and the Indian Health Services (IHS), both government-run systems, have a history of poor performance. With the VA, as many as 238,000 veterans may have died while they were waiting for care. But socialized healthcare proponents would force all Americans into similar systems.

———

Does it seem to you that too many politicians are willfully ignoring the failure of government-run health care?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

7. The Heritage Foundation believes that American taxpayers should NOT have their religious freedoms curtailed by being forced to subsidize abortion coverage — but under socialized health care, abortion would be fully covered at taxpayers’ expense.

———

Do you agree that any legitimate healthcare reform must allow individuals to exercise their right of conscience when it comes to matters of faith?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

8. In countries like Britain and Canada that have socialized health care, care is rationed and extensive waiting lists for medical treatment are common, especially for hospitalization and specialized medical services. Even urgent procedures are sometimes canceled because the system is overwhelmed.

———

Do you think socialized medicine in America will diminish access to actual healthcare treatment?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion

9. The Heritage Foundation is helping conservatives in Congress develop constructive ideas for healthcare reforms that will give patients more choices, less bureaucracy and better costs, while modernizing and protecting Medicare for seniors who depend on it.

———

Do you think it’s important for conservatives to counter socialized health care with sensible, free market solutions?

Yes

No

Not Sure/No Opinion
