11/18/2013, "Majority in U.S. Say Healthcare Not Gov't Responsibility," Gallup poll, Joy Wilke
since Gallup first asked the question and an 11-point
increase since 2000 -- with the largest change in opinion occurring
between 2006 and 2008.
Implications
Americans' attitudes toward the government's role in ensuring all
Americans have access to affordable healthcare have changed
substantially over the past decade. These changes began before the
Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, and concurrently with the
financial crisis of 2008 and Obama's first presidential campaign and
election....
The continuing implementation of the ACA over the coming months and
years will surely continue to shape Americans' attitudes toward the
federal government's role in this area. It is not clear how the ACA's
troubled rollout to date will affect attitudes over the next year. But
as the debate about the implementation of the new healthcare law has
unfolded, Americans have become less likely than ever to agree that the
federal government should be responsible for making sure that all
Americans have healthcare.
Survey Methods
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews
conducted Nov. 7-10, 2013, on the annual Gallup Health & Healthcare
poll, with a random sample of 1,039 adults, aged 18 and older, living in
all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
For results based on the total sample of 1,039 national adults, one
can say with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±4
percentage points.
For results based on the total sample of 272 Republicans, one can say
with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±6 percentage
points.
For results based on the total sample of 449 independents, one can
say with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±5
percentage points.
For results based on the total sample of 292 Democrats, one can say
with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±6 percentage
points.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and
cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents
who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample of national adults
includes a minimum quota of 50% cellphone respondents and 50% landline
respondents, with additional minimum quotas by region. Landline and cell
telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.
Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the
basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
Samples are weighted to correct for unequal selection probability,
nonresponse, and double coverage of landline and cell users in the two
sampling frames. They are also weighted to match the national
demographics of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education,
region, population density, and phone status (cellphone only/landline
only/both, and cellphone mostly). Demographic weighting targets are
based on the March 2012 Current Population Survey figures for the aged
18 and older U.S. population. Phone status targets are based on the
July-December 2011 National Health Interview Survey. Population density
targets are based on the 2010 census. All reported margins of sampling
error include the computed design effects for weighting.
In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical
difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the
findings of public opinion polls.
