New Gallup Poll Shows Reasons People Oppose Health Care Reform (Newsweek)
One number in this new Gallup poll on health-care reform caught my eye, because, oddly, it has good news for both sides of the debate. Gallup asked the 48% of people who oppose health care reform about why they’re against the Democrats’; plans. The most popular reason, cited by 20% of people, was a concern that the plan would raise premium prices or end up costing them more. That’s good news for Republicans. It means their talking points are getting through. The notion that the cost of health insurance would rise was repeated by several Republicans at the recent White House summit. When Gallup asked the same question last September, only 9% of people were most worried about their costs going up. Score one for the Republican message machine. (Interestingly, only 2% of people were worried about abortions being covered. I guess that line of attack isn’t sticking.)
