The Kaiser Health Poll Report is designed to provide key tracking information on public opinion about health care topics to journalists, policymakers and the general public.

The Kaiser Health Poll Report contains four basic sections:

• Health Care Priorities tracks the public's views on health care issues before Congress and the President and which issues they think are most important to address;
• Health Security Watch acts as a barometer for monitoring people's level of concern about their ability to access and pay for health care; and
• The Kaiser/Harvard School of Public Health Health News Index continues to shed light on which stories the public follows most closely and what they take away from those stories.

The Kaiser Health Poll Report is prepared by Dr. Mollyann Brodie, Vice President and Director, Public Opinion and Media Research, Elizabeth Hamel, Claudia Deane, and Carolina Gutiérrez of the Kaiser Family Foundation.
