Summary View help for Summary
In this special topic poll taken the evening of President Bill Clinton's televised speech about his health care plan, respondents were asked for their views on the proposed plan. Items focused on respondents' approval of the plan, whether the plan was better than the present system, and whether respondents would support an increase in taxes to help pay for the plan. Respondents were also queried regarding what they thought the effect of Clinton's plan would be on how much they paid for health insurance, and the effect of the plan on health insurance coverage and the quality of health care. Those surveyed were asked whether the plan was fair to most Americans, whether they thought Congress should pass the plan, and whether they worried that potential health care costs they might have in the future would not be taken care of. Background information on respondents includes political party, age, and sex.
