No matter who wins presidential race, voters pessimistic on health care’s future

Published Updated 2 Min Read

It may not be exactly an October surprise, but it appears the public has low expectations for the future of the American health care, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office after inauguration day. Though many views fall along voters’ party lines, a new survey form TeleVox indicates that neither Republicans nor Democrats are filled with optimism when it comes to health care reform.

The survey, out this month, was conducted by Kelton Research and TeleVox, which reports that 78% of respondents believe the country’s health care system will stay the same or worsen if the White House changes hands. Meanwhile some 72% also believe it will stay the same or worsen if it doesn’t.
