NBC News Health Care Survey

Hart/McInturff
August 15-17, 2009
8. Thinking about efforts to reform the health care system, which would concern you more?
41% – Not doing enough to make the health care system better than it is now by lowering costs and covering the uninsured.
54% – Going too far and making the health care system worse than it is now in terms of quality of care and choice of doctor.
5% – Not sure

A PhD thesis could be written over just what this survey tells us, but we’re certainly not going to do that here.
Give this some thought. Think about what this might mean. Then think about what we should be doing in response. And then do it!
