15 Questions for Congress on Health

Research America! has a healthcare questionaire for Senators and Representatives to fill out. Questions such as:

3. Which of the following statements best describes your view of our current health care system?

a. Overall, the health care system is working and needs only some minor adjustments.
b. Significant changes are needed to make our health care system work.
c. Our health care system is broken and needs a complete overhaul.

or,

4. Do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have health care coverage or not?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Don't know

Neither of my Senators nor my Representative has completed the questionaire yet. To find out if yours did and to see their answers go here.


You can also compare the answers of up to three congressmen. For example: Rep. Durban (D-IL) believes the healthcare system needs "significant changes" whereas Rep. Obama (D-IL) believes the system needs a "complete overhaul".

The majority of congressmen have yet to respond to the questionaire. If yours hasn't you can email them from the website and encourage them to do so.
