Executive Summary

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, in conjunction with Democracy Corps, completed a comprehensive study of the most important domestic issue of the cycle, health care.  This survey found Americans frustrated with the current health care system, ready to move beyond narrow debates over issues like the cost of prescription drugs and waiting for big, bold reform. The new research shows that, above almost anything else, Americans want security in their health care delivery, health care that can never be taken away from them.

Methodology
Greenberg Quinlan Rosner conducted a national survey of 1,000 likely voters May 29-31, 2007. The results are subject to a margin of error of +3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

Key Findings

  • 35% approve of the job George Bush is doing as president; 60% disapprove.
  • 49% are satisfied with the quality of health care in this country; another 49% are dissatisfied.
  • 24% are satisfied with the cost of health care in this country; 74% are dissatisfied.
  • 54% favor "a proposal that provided every American with health insurance, even if it meant your taxes or health care premiums would increase as a result;" 42% oppose.

"The U.S. now spends more than twice per person on health care than other developed countries, but ranks near the bottom in life expectancy, infant mortality and overall performance."
