Gallup: Majority Against Government Healthcare Guarantee

Americans are trending away from the idea that the federal government should be responsible for their healthcare. 

According to a Gallup poll conducted between November 15-18, for the first time since 2000, a majority of Americans say they don’t want the feds running their health care.

Republicans have shifted significantly; in 2007, 38% favored government control, but now that number has dropped to 12%. Democrats have dropped from their astronomically high percentage of 81% in 2007 to 71% this year.

ObamaCare has a mixed result, which has remained static over the last several years; 48% approve and 45% disapprove.

Only 22% of Americans are satisfied with their health coverage, while 77% are dissatisfied, but that isn’t new; satisfaction has never been higher than 28% since 1993.
