Dear Interested Party:
Health issues rank high on the voters' list of top priorities for the new Congress, according to a new survey conducted immediately after the election by The Kaiser Family Foundation, www.kff.org, and Harvard School of Public Health.
Of sixteen issues voters were asked about, seven - including three health issues - were identified by at least half of voters as top priorities: keeping Social Security financially sound (80%), keeping Medicare financially sound (73%), helping the uninsured get coverage (61%), passing tougher anti-crime laws (60%), establishing federal education standards for public schools (55%), HMO/managed care reform (54%) and cutting taxes (50%).
The entire survey is available, and can be downloaded from the Foundation's web site, at http://www.kff.org/archive/health_policy/general/voters/voters.html
You can also access other recent surveys -- on topics such as Medicare, Social Security and the influence of values on discourse about social and health policy -- from the Foundation's surveys page, located at www.kff.org/surveys.
We hope you find it of interest.
-- The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
