New Poll Shows Public Distrusts Flawed Healthcare Approach Favored by Governor and Speaker in AB 8
Date:9/4/2007

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In the first public test of voter reaction to the healthcare deal being put together by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, California voters are expressing serious reservations about the proposed bill, according to findings of a new poll released today by the California Nurses Association.

More than two-thirds of California voters -- a margin of 68 percent to 25 percent -- said they prefer "making sure we pass healthcare reform that gets it right and improves the system, and not take the risk of passing bad legislation."

The poll reinforced findings last month by the Field poll which found support for a Schwarzenegger-style insurance based reform, which is also the basis for AB 8, has plummeted since December, while more voters are leaning toward a single-payer style reform as in an improved and expanded Medicare for all.

In the Greenberg Quinlan poll, when provided a favorable description of AB 8, a plurality, but not a majority, of voters said they supported the bill, by a 49-40 percent.

But once voters were told of serious flaws in the bill, opposition rose to 50 percent while support fell to just 35 percent. And, when told it was opposed by nurses, opposition climbed further to 57 percent while support fell to just 25 percent.

Another drag on support for AB 8 is the fac
