The Morning Consult National Healthcare Tracking Poll: November 2013

Topline Results

Methodology: This Morning Consult National Healthcare Tracking Poll was conducted from November 14-17, 2013, among a national sample of 2,008 registered voters. The interviews were conducted online by Survey Sampling International, Inc. The data were weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, region, annual household income, home ownership status and marital status. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points. In addition to sampling error, there are many common sources of error and bias such as variation in question order, question wording, respondent attentiveness and survey attrition that may influence the overall results.

12: As you may have heard, many Americans who purchase their own health insurance have received notices from health insurers that their policies may be cancelled. Some say these cancellations will improve individual health insurance policies because they require health plans to meet the minimum standards of the 2010 health care law. Others say these cancellations show the President has broken his promise that Americans can keep their current health insurance if they like it.With whom do you agree more?
