AP-GfK Poll: Public wants elusive accord on health

WASHINGTON
– Americans and their lawmakers are dramatically out of sync on health
care, with large majorities of people looking for bipartisan
cooperation that's nowhere in sight.
A new Associated Press-GfK Poll finds a widespread hunger for improvements to the health care system, which suggests President Barack Obama
and his Democratic allies have a political opening to push their plan.
Half of all Americans say health care should be changed a lot or "a
great deal," and only 4 percent say it shouldn't be changed at all.
...
More than four in five Americans say it's important that any health care plan
have support from both parties. And 68 percent say the president and
congressional Democrats should keep trying to cut a deal with
Republicans rather than pass a bill with no GOP support.
