In the Wall Street Journal, Heather Richardson Higgins, of the Independent Women's Forum, muses on the political ramifications of a new poll by her group concerning women and health care, but let’s just take a look at the numbers from her piece:

One key finding is that most women like their own care. Three out of four (74%) rate their own health care as good or excellent, and 77% think the quality of the care they receive is equal to or better than what others receive. Particularly surprising, given the nefarious reputation of insurers, was that two-thirds (66%) thought their insurance was good or excellent, and 73% thought that they had appropriate or even high quality insurance...Women, it turns out, see health-care reform as being for someone other than themselves. Three out of four women either want their own health care modified only slightly (40%) or think it's better left as it is (35%); 64% would rather have private insurance than a government-run plan...Nearly half of the women in IWF's survey (46%) worry that government-run health care will result in more doctors leaving medicine. More than half (51%) think it will cause a decline in the quality of health care...and 81% expect that it will lead to increases in the taxes they have to pay...There's also concern about cost. Nearly three in five (57%) don't support passage of a health-care reform bill if it will mean significantly increasing the federal deficit for future generations.

Women also oppose the rush: Only 16% see health care as the top issue, though 53% put it in their top three. But two thirds (67%) don't want something poorly crafted passed, saying it's more important to get it right than to do it fast. More than half (56%) believe Congress should approve legislation only if it has bipartisan support.

We need to fix what is broken and not break what works (or the bank) Here is our three-point plan.
