You can’t make this stuff up. Remember how much we hated HMO’s when they first came out? (I still hate them; I chose the PPO option from my health care plan). Well, Americans have a higher level of confidence in HMO’s than in Congress in the latest Gallup poll. Via Contentions.
How badly is Congress doing? Voters think better of Big Business and HMOs, which both clock in at 19%, than they do of Congress. For all its efforts to shift blame to others, Congress can’t escape the public’s ire. And the presidency isn’t doing so great either. That category shows the most dramatic drop in confidence — from 51% in 2009 to 36% now. You don’t think it has anything to do with Obama, do you?
