In one of our recent polls, MPSL students were asked their opinion on what the health care reform focus should be. 39% said health care reform should focus on controlling cost; 36% said the focus should be on expanding coverage; while 25% said reform should focus on improving services. In a similar poll by ABC News/Washington Post Poll, 51% of Americans feel it is necessary for the government to reform health care to control cost and expand coverage; 46% feel government reform will do more harm than good; while 3% said they are unsure of the effect that government reform of health care would have.

Some critics of health care reform say it will create so called “death panels” (government organizations that will decide who will and whoo will not receive health services when they are critically ill). Do you think this allegation is true or not true?
