I can garuntee that most would not support this bill if they knew someone making $60,000 would get free or subsidized health care from the government. This bill was sold by saying it would help the "poor". $60,000 a year isn't poor.
That
vast majority support healthcare reform.
There is near-universal support (94% in favor) for giving tax breaks to small businesses to allow them to provide health insurance for their employees.
Nearly as many (86%) favor allowing American workers to keep the same medical insurance when they change jobs.
About four in five Americans (81%) favor requiring large companies either to offer health insurance coverage to their employees or to pay into a pool that would be used to pay for health insurance.
Along the same lines, 77% favor reducing government regulation to allow more health insurance providers to compete in the system.
Seventy-six percent favor providing government subsidies to help lower-income Americans buy health insurance.
Nearly 7 in 10 (69%) favor introducing reforms to the legal system that would place limits on the amount of money awarded in malpractice suits against doctors.
Sixty-eight percent favor providing American families with a $15,000 tax credit to allow them to buy private health insurance.
The same percentage (68%) favors having the federal government help fund state programs that attempt to address the health insurance situations of each state.
