You might not want that Universal Health Care after all!
There is general agreement on issues such as providing universal coverage, limiting administrative expenses of insurers, and getting rid of exclusions for pre-existing conditions. But public opinion changes when people learn about the effects of their decisions.
For example, 71% of people favor Obama’s idea to require employers to provide health insurance to their workers, but support drops to only 29% when told that the plan may involve employers laying off workers.
Two thirds of people also thought it was a good idea to require all Americans to have health insurance … until they found out that some people would be forced to purchase insurance that was too expensive or something they didn’t want. Support for that idea suddenly dropped to 19%.
