UK poll shows voters favor education vouchers and private medical care

Voters in the UK want the governmentr to give them the money spent on education so they can use it to select schools for their children.

They also favor a medical insurance system using private health care providers like the US system. Apparently the back logs of socialism have changed opinions on medicine.

"...Significantly, the poll finds that support for radical solutions is strongest among younger voters and among those on lower incomes, while opposition comes from older, well-off voters usually identified with the so-called "decision-making" classes.

"On health, the voters surveyed by ICM on behalf of Reform were asked if they would consider a 'new approach' to the NHS, under which all adults would take out private insurance in exchange for a tax cut to cover the cost. The Government would pay the premiums for those on low incomes.

"Of those polled, 46 per cent thought it was a "good idea" while 30 per cent opposed it outright. Significantly, nearly half of the Labour Party members surveyed - 44 per cent - agreed that it was a good idea.

"The same group was asked if they would prefer to be free to use the money the Government spends on education (currently about £5,000 per child) to send their children to any school they choose, including private schools where they could opt to top up the fees."
