Voters Still Strongly Favor Health Insurance Choice Based on Costs
Voters still don’t like the new national health care law but are more supportive of government-mandated health insurance standards as long as consumers still can choose the kind of plan they want based on costs and coverage.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% of Likely U.S. Voters have at least a somewhat favorable view of Obamacare, while 54% view it unfavorably. This includes 16% with a Very Favorable opinion of the new law and 42% with a Very Unfavorable one. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
