The Wall Street Journal reports the results of a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll focused on the Obama health care plan:
In mid-June, the public was evenly divided when asked whether it thought Mr. Obama's health plan was a good idea or bad idea. The new poll, conducted July 24-27, found 42% calling it a bad idea versus 36% who said it was a good idea. Among those with insurance, the portion calling the plan a bad idea rose to 47% from 37%.
People are starting to focus on what the Obama plan will do to
their own health care, and the results are poor:
Only two in 10 people predicted the quality of their own care would improve under the Obama plan, and just 15% of those with private insurance thought it would. Twice as many overall, and three times as many with private coverage, predicted their own care would get worse.
As the economy starts to pull out of the recession, people will become less concerned about losing their health care in a layoff or reduction in force. Go see the WSJ article, there is more good stuff there.
