This has to be good news for the future of single payer.

And bad news for insurance companies.

Anti-insurance company animus is growing in the USA — especially among young people.

A recent national poll found that fully 59 percent of respondents said they would be inclined to favor the individual in civil litigation that pitted an individual against an insurance company.

But for respondents in the youngest age category — individuals 18 to 29 — fully 71 percent said that they would be inclined to favor the individual over the insurance company.

That’s 15 percent higher than among all adults age 30 or over.

The divide between liberals and conservatives was equally stark, with 73 percent of liberals and only 50 percent of conservatives saying that they would favor the individual.

College grads with an income in excess of $100,000 were least likely to favor the individual — the only demographic in which fewer than half would be inclined to favor the individual.

The poll was conducted by Langer Research Associates in New York for DRI, an organization representing defense attorneys in civil litigation.

“The fact that only 20% would approach their responsibilities as a juror in an objective manner means that we have a bit of public education to do on the role of a juror in the administration of justice,” said DRI Executive Director John Kouris.
