Voters Strongly Favor More Health Insurance Choices

Voters continue to have mixed feelings about President Obama’s national health care law but still strongly feel that individuals should have a variety of choices when it comes to health insurance.

Forty-six percent (46%) of Likely U.S. Voters view the health care law favorably, while 48% have an unfavorable opinion of it, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. This includes 16% with a Very Favorable opinion and 33% with a Very Unfavorable one. These attitudes are unchanged from a month ago. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
