Indicates wide-spread concern. Excerpt:
- An overwhelming 70 percent oppose taxing benefits worth over $17,000 a year, a funding mechanism under discussion.
Fifty-eight percent don’t buy President Obama’s pledge that reform can occur without forcing people to make undesired changes in their current coverage.
The public splits about evenly, 49-47 percent, on another basic element, requiring all Americans to have health insurance. That varies widely, though as high as 70 percent support, as low as 44 percent depending on the terms of such a requirement.
About eight in 10 are concerned that reform may reduce their quality, coverage and choice of care, and increase their costs, government bureaucracy and the federal deficit, with anywhere from 51 to 62 percent very worried about each of these.
