The new survey reported at MSN Health by The Commonwealth Fund doesn't tell us anything new about the state of health insurance coverage in America, it simply adds facts and statistics to what we already know.

It's not surprising that 82% of Americans think that our health care system needs a major overhaul, or that better health insurance coverage could save lives. After all, this is why both Presidential Candidates make it a point to address health care as often as possible when they're in the public eye.

We know that we need better quality of care for all citizens, that we need to offer affordable health insurance coverage to everyone, and that we need to reduce the number of uninsured.

We're even aware that we need to better organize our system to minimize unnecessary testing and simplify health care for everyone.

What we don't know is how to do it. Some argue that a universal plan would handle these problems, while critics say we can't afford that.

Others say we need to let the market handle the health insurance coverage problem, while others say that those who are already sick would suffer from this plan.

And everywhere in-between, there's some kind of plan that has both support and critics that confuse the issue.

Which one will be put into action depends on who you vote for, and who gets elected depends on how much each American is willing to pay for health coverage for all.

But one thing is clear: something must be done, and everyone agrees on that.
