Poll shows Wisconsinites divided on health care

MADISON — A new poll shows that Wisconsin residents are nearly evenly divided over national health care reform.

The poll released Tuesday done by the University of Wisconsin Survey Center shows that 46 percent of respondents oppose the changes being developed in Washington, D.C., based on what they’ve heard or read. Forty-four percent support the changes.

That difference is within the poll’s margin of error which was plus or minus 4 percentage points. The telephone survey of 507 randomly selected Wisconsin residents was done between Oct. 29 and Nov. 20.

The poll also found that 72 percent believe the country’s health care system is in a state of crisis or has major problems and 56 percent believe health care costs are problematic.

It is interesting to see how a state who employs a large number of health care providers and insurance workers feels about Obamas plan. Feel free to comment.
