Post-Election Survey of Voters’ 1997 Health Care Agenda

Post-Election Survey of Voters’ 1997 Health Care Agenda

A nationally representative sample of 1000 voters, conducted immediately after the 1996 election, examines voters’ priorities for the new Congress. Balancing the budget, cutting taxes and spending on public education top the list of voters priorities. The survey also looks at public support for regulating managed care, expanding health insurance coverage, Medicare spending, and the welfare reform law passed last year.
