| 60.39% | Yes | |
| 39.6% | No |
Comment: VOID THE TRIGGER ~ IF IT'S BAD TODAY YOU KNOW IT WILL BE WORSE TOMORROW. from Harrison by Paul
Comment: NO...a public option will do nothing but INCREASE the cost of health insurance for those that already have it. Someone will have to pay the cost and it won't be the insurance companies!!! from Topsham by Jim
Comment: We put her there to represent Maine not the GOP or should I say the GOB (good ol boys) from Monmouth ME by Kelvin
Comment: Absolutely not. I love how she seems to feel called by history in all of this. That love affair needs to stop--history will remember her as a simple, weak-willed, skillfully manipulated pawn in the final destruction of the U.S. from windham by edna
Comment: The public option is the ONLY part of the health care reform that has any teeth. Private insurers absolutely would not be able to compete - IF they stick to the abusive, rapacious business practices the system currently allows to flourish. Any attempt to fix this without a public option is nothing but pandering, giving false reassurances to the public and genuine reassurances to the insurance industry campaign donors. from Westbrook, ME by Jason
Comment: NO WAY! gov run health care, means tax payer paid. from Lewiston by Joe
