Wisconsinites evenly split on plans for health care reform

Talk about it

Wisconsinites are almost evenly split on the congressional plans for health care reform.

Forty-six percent of those questioned in the latest UW-Madison Badger Poll said they’re against the proposals considered on Capitol Hill, based on what they’ve heard and read about them. Forty-four percent favor the changes. The difference is within the poll’s margin-of-error of plus-or-minus four-percent.

Five hundred and seven Wisconsin adults were chosen at random to take part in the Badger Poll. It was conducted from October 29th through November 20th. Seventy-two percent agreed that the nation’s health system either has major problems or is in crisis. Fifty-six percent said health care costs are a big problem.
