Nevada Health Insurance Poll
A new poll came out from Mason-Dixon Polling Research Inc. for the Las Vegas Review Journal last week reviewing where Nevadans stand on the health care debate. The survey consisted of phone responses from 500 registered voters in Nevada. Nevada and Las Vegas health insurance issues are definitely a concern for residents. All of this information is according to the article “Most Nevadans Believe Health Reform Includes Tax Hikes” by Calli Fisher at krnv.com, News 4.
The poll shows that 49% of Nevadans are against President Obama’s health care proposal while 43% support it. Only 8% believe no action is necessary. A shocking 77% believe that President Obama’s plan will include an increase in taxes. This goes against what most residents believe should be the main concerns when revamping health care. This includes cheaper health insurance, easier to access and fewer restrictions.
74% of Nevada Democrats support Obama’s plan and only 9% of Republicans approve of it. Some say these numbers include many who don’t fully understand the proposal nor do they understand how it will affect them directly. The poll does have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5%. It is still to be determined how and when Nevada health insurance will be affected.
