Those Who Rate U.S. Health Care System Good or Excellent Up To 20% since July 2008

obamacare-its-to-die-forForty-nine percent (49%) of voters nationwide now rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent according to the latest Rasmussen poll. That marks a steady increase from 44% at the beginning of October, 35% in May and 29% a year-and-a-half ago. The same poll finds that just 27% now say the U.S. health care system is poor. Of course the most interesting part of this steady rise in polling is realated to the disasters of the House and Senate versions of ObamaCARE which will completely destroy the existing health care system as we know it.  The latest polling shows that only 38% favor the health care legislation currently working its way through Congress. Most liberal voters (51%) now rate the current health care system as poor. However, 62% of conservatives say it’s good or excellent. Among political moderates or independants, 44% say the health care system is good or excellent while 26% say it’s poor.

Most Democrats think major changes are needed. Most Republicans and voters not affiliated with either party believe just minor changes or no changes are needed.

Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters say the biggest problem with health care today is cost. Eighteen percent (18%) say the biggest problem is the lack of universal coverage. Six percent (6%) cite the inconvenience of scheduling, and five percent (5%) say it’s the quality of care.

Fifty percent (50%) now say it’s important for Congress to pass health care legislation this year, but that’s down 11 points from 61% at the beginning of October.
