ubject: txt 1st hcare -
Despite assurances from the president and congressional Democrats who authored the bill that no one with insurance will be forced to change their current coverage, 52% of those with insurance say it’s likely they will have to change coverage following passage of the congressional health care reform proposal.

The current numbers include 31% who say it is Very Likely that they would be forced to change their coverage while only 18% say it’s Not at All Likely. Most Republicans and unaffiliated voters say it’s likely they would have to change plans. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of those in the president’s party agree.
