Voters and health care in the 1996 election

Article Abstract:

Health care reform is no longer a priority among Americans but many still favor action on specific goals. During the 1996 election, only half of eligible voters voted and many voters were senior citizens and those in the upper income bracket. Most voters believe that health care has become more expensive. Many are concerned about the number of uninsured Americans, especially children. They do not support reductions in entitlement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. They also favor some regulation of managed care plans.
