Most Americans Don't Like Obama's Health Care Law
Most Americans still don't feel too great about President Barack Obama's new health care law and want more freedom in their health insurance options than the law allows, according to a new poll released Monday from Rasmussen Reports.
Over half of likely American voters (54 percent) view the health care law unfavorably, a percentage which includes 37 percent who have a very unfavorable opinion of the law. Only 19 percent have a very favorable opinion of Obamacare.
Thirty-eight percent of Americans believethe government should require every health insurance company and health insurance plan to cover the exact same set of medical procedures. Thirty-two percent disagree. Nearly just as many (30 percent) are undecided.
Most Americans -- 70 percent -- believeindividuals should have the right to choose between health insurance that costs more/cover just about all medical procedures and some that cost less/covering only major medical procedures. Only 12 percent oppose this choice.
A higher number (80 percent) of Americans believe individuals should have the right to choose between different types of health insurance plans, even those with higher deductibles and lower premiums and others with lower deductibles and higher premiums.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted April 23 and April 26 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.0 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
