Dennis Kucinich Speaks at Livestrong Cancer Forum, Leads in MSNBC Healthcare Poll

August 28th, 2007 @ 2:16 pm by evmonk

Update: Head over to The Largest Minority for a slightly updated poll and analysis.

I’m not sure if Dennis Kucinich is the new Ron Paul (in terms of internet popularity) — or that we even want him to be — but he’s building an impressive streak of online poll victories. The latest survey, running on MSNBC.com since yesterday’s Livestrong Presidential Cancer Forum, shows Kucinich with a strong lead over the other Democrats.

Remember that none of these online polls are scientific (MSNBC has a great explanation of why here). But they do indicate what appears to be mounting enthusiasm for the Kucinich candidacy. And on healthcare, scientific polls like this one CBS ran a few months ago show that 90% of Americans believe that our healthcare system needs at least “fundamental changes,” and 36% want a “complete overhaul.” Poll after poll reveals that Americans are deeply skeptical of the health insurance industry and prefer a government-run, taxpayer-financed system of healthcare for all. Watch Kucinich at yesterday’s Livestrong Forum to see why he’s the only candidate that would give America the healthcare system it deserves and so desperately needs.

Kucinich’s approach is simple. Every single American gets the medical care they need, when they need it — period. He is the only candidate proposing a single-payer, not-for-profit system (Medicare for all). Obama, Clinton, and even Edwards (who has, to his credit, pledged to make important and fundamental changes) leave too much control in the hands of private health insurance companies, even though these for-profit entities will always prioritize their own profits over the quality and equality of care Americans receive.

You can read more about Dennis’s healthcare legislation (HR-676) here, and about all of the presidential candidates proposals at the website for the American Academy of Family Physicians.

    Ev, this is a super great happy fun time number one video. You need to cross-post it on the LM. Kucinich kicked ass and a half. Great analysis on the polls too.

    Wow. Kucinich was riveting here. He is in a league of his own on this particular issue. No other candidate comes close.

    Seems incredible, but who knows?
    So did space exploration 100 years ago, and the science behind this is strong.

    Do you think this could happen?
