POLL: Government Health Care: Raise Costs, Reduce Quality, Don't Want

Subject: txt 1st hcare =
If the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats passes, 57% of voters nationwide believe it will raise the cost of health care, and 53% believe the quality of care will get worse. That’s part of the reason that just 45% support the plan.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% are opposed to it. Those numbers include 23% who Strongly Favor the plan and 40% who are Strongly Opposed.

Just 18% say passage of the congressional plan will reduce costs, while only 23% believe it will lead to better care. Still, despite the less-than-enthusiastic support, 54% say passage of the plan is at least somewhat likely this year. Thirty-five percent (35%) say it is not.

Voters under 30 are most likely to support the health care proposal while those over 65 are the least supportive.

[Amazing. Have they not done the math? {rhetorical: obviously not}]
