According to a survey sponsored by AARP, Americans want health
care reform, but are not that willing to pay for it: "56% say that it is more
important than ever that we address health care reform. When asked what they’re
most worried about when it comes to health care, respondents focus on rising
costs, including insurance premium and prescription drug price hikes and the
prospect of not being able to afford health insurance. In spite of those
concerns, however, sizeable majorities say they are not willing to pay more in
taxes (64%) or in premiums (74%) to cover the uninsured."
