Support for Health “Reform” Hits All-Time Low
While a government takeover of health care proceeded in the Senate over the weekend, public sentiment isn’t necessarily in favor. In fact, by one recent measure, support for health “reform” is at a new low.
Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.
One encouraging sign from the survey, conducted over the weekend: Americans aren’t buying the claim that the plans moving their way through Congress will reduce health care costs, and a majority think the “reforms” will lower the quality of care.
