Poll: Costs, not universal coverage, tops health care concerns

This is directed at Barack Obama and his merry band of socialists in Congress.

A new Rasmussen poll finds that 61% of voters nationwide say that cost -- not universal coverage -- is the biggest health care problem facing the nation today.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 21% believe the lack of universal health insurance coverage is a bigger problem.

More from Rasmussen Reports:
Only 10% believe the quality of care is the top concern, and two percent (2%) point to the inconvenience factor of dealing with the current medical system.

Given a choice between health care reform and a tax hike or no health care reform and no tax hike, 47% would prefer to avoid the tax hike and do without reform. Forty-one percent (41%) take the opposite view.

The opposition is stronger when asked about a choice between health care reform that would require changing existing health insurance coverage or no health care reform and no change from current coverage. In that case, voters oppose reform by a 54% to 32% margin.
It's time for every American to contact their members of Congress and tell them to put a stop to Obamacare. This is a case where the "cure" is far worse than the disease.
