Americans are divided on whether or not they would be willing to pay more in taxes if it meant everyone would have access to health care. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they would pay more taxes to ensure that everyone in the country could have access to health care, while nearly 49% said they would not, according to a survey of 10,000 health care consumers by QualityHealth.com.

Of the 51% of respondents saying they would pay more taxes to support universal health care, 31% said they would pay up to 5% more, and 17% said they would pay up to 10% more.

This divide translates to their allegiance to presidential hopefuls, as well. Nearly 44% of respondents chose Clinton as the candidate that would make the most improvements to the health care system, with 22% choosing Obama and nearly 14% choosing John McCain.

However, not everyone has found a candidate they can back on the issue of health care. The National Nurses Organizing Committee/California Nurses Association has launched an ad campaign in Ohio that tells candidates to "stop selling insurance and back real reform."

The ads criticize individual mandates that would require people to purchase insurance -- a major focus of the healthcare debate among the Democratic candidates. The group's ads say forcing private insurance is not universal care, especially while the insurance giants "can still charge as much as they want and still deny you care when you are sick." The ads also say the government should "protect us from insurance companies, not force us to buy insurance products."

"Nurses see America's healthcare crisis up close everyday," said Michelle Mahon, a Cleveland area RN. "Our ability to provide safe, effective, therapeutic care is undermined and our professional responsibility as patient advocates is compromised by insurance companies. Ohio nurses believe that the answer to our healthcare crisis is a Medicare for all, single payer plan, that will guarantee quality care to everyone."
