As President Obama prepares for a major speech on Wednesday to relaunch his health care reform initiative, polling data continues to show that many Americans remain skeptical of the details.
The health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats contains many controversial items that divide the general public. However, one area of consensus among the public is the desire to restrict government health care benefits to U.S. citizens only.
At town hall meetings on the health care issue, most Americans say it’s more important for those in Congress to listen rather than speak.
Despite President Barack Obama’s promise that any health care reform legislation will be deficit-neutral, 68% of voters nationwide say that passage of the Congressional health care reform legislation is likely to create larger deficits.
