POLL VAULT: Latest Gallup Poll Shows Americans Most Concerned About Costs
Posted by The Campaign on March 09, 2010 at 2:46 PM
Gallup released its latest poll, and it shows among people who oppose the current reform legislation the biggest reason for opposition is the impact the legislation will have on costs.
Key findings:
There has been greater change in opponents' stated reasons for wanting to defeat the president's proposed healthcare legislation. Now, 20% of opponents say it will raise insurance costs, up from 9% in September. Nineteen percent currently believe the legislation will not address the real problems in the system, up from 10% in September.
Over time, healthcare reform opponents have increasingly come to doubt whether the legislation Congress is considering will control costs and really fix the problems that plague the healthcare system. Supporters are more hopeful that it will make insurance more affordable, but much of their support rides on their belief that all Americans should have insurance.
