Americans Still Want Health Reform

From a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, released today at: http://www.kff.org/kaiserpolls/8051.cfm

Question: For each element of health care reform I name, please tell me how important it is that this be passed into law. First, how important is (item)? Is that extremely important, very important, somewhat important, not too important, or should it not be done at all?

1. Reforming the way health insurance works. Proportion saying extremely or very important: 76%
2. Providing tax credits to small businesses. Proportion saying extremely or very important: 72%
3. Creating a health insurance exchange or marketplace. Proportion saying extremely or very important: 71%
4. Helping close the Medicare "donut hole". Proportion saying extremely or very important: 71%
5. Expanding high-risk insurance pools. Proportion saying extremely or very important: 70%
