That is true, I say to the Senator. What you have just said contributes to a recent poll, done by the Kaiser Family Foundation in May of this year, which asked Americans: Which kind of plan did they want? For Republicans in America, 58 percent said they wanted a defined benefit plan; only 33 percent wanted the Republican plan as is offered today. Among Democrats, 71 percent wanted a defined benefit and 23 percent preferred the Republican plan. Among Independents, 72 percent-- even more than Democrats--wanted to have a defined benefit plan delivered by Medicare as a means by which they would get their prescription drug benefit.
