In November 2008, health plans released a series of health insurance reforms. One of these reforms was guaranteeing coverage for everyone regardless of a pre-existing condition coupled with a personal coverage requirement to get everybody covered.
Three recent polls have shown strong support for a personal coverage requirement. Check out the polls below:
A July 2009 Pew Research poll shows that “65% [of the public] favor requiring that all Americans have health insurance with the government providing financial help for those who can’t afford it.” Click here for the full results of the poll.
A June 2009 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed that 62% of Americans support requiring everyone to have coverage, and financial assistance for people with low and moderate incomes. Click here for the full results of the poll.
