****BREAKING**** 21% Of U.S. Voters Approve Of Revised GOP Health Plan
Only 21 percent of American voters approve of the Republican health care plan passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last week, a slight improvement over the 17 percent who approved of the first health care plan in March, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. Overall, the current health plan goes down 56 - 21 percent.
Except for an anemic 48 - 16 percent support among Republicans, every listed party, gender, educational, age and racial group opposes the plan, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
Under the new plan, their health insurance costs will go up, 42 percent of voters say, while 11 percent say they will go down and 37 percent say insurance costs will stay the same.
American voters approve 64 - 32 percent of the current law which prevents health insurance companies from raising premiums on people with pre-existing conditions.
Voters say 75 - 21 percent, including 59 - 34 percent among Republicans, that it's a "bad idea" to give states the ability to allow health insurance companies to raise rates on people with pre-existing conditions.
A total of 96 percent of voters say it's "very important" or "somewhat important" that health insurance be affordable for all Americans.
American voters disapprove 66 - 28 percent of the way President Donald Trump is handling health care.
