WASHINGTON
– It's the cost, Mr. President. Americans are worried about hidden
costs in the fine print of health care overhaul legislation, an
Associated Press poll says. That's creating new challenges for President Barack Obama as he tries to close the deal with a handful of Democratic doubters in the Senate.
Although Americans share a conviction that major health care changes
are needed, Democratic bills that extend coverage to the uninsured and
try to hold down medical costs get no better than a lukewarm reception.
The
poll found that 43 percent oppose the health care plans being discussed
in Congress, while 41 percent are in support. An additional 15 percent
remain neutral or undecided.
