62% Think Health Law Likely to Cause Some Companies to Drop Employee Coverage
Friday, July 27, 2012
A sizable majority of voters continues to believe that some companies will drop health insurance coverage for their employees because of President Obama's health care law. But there's a noticeable partisan difference of opinion over whether that's a good or bad thing.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 62% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is at least somewhat likely that the law will cause some companies to drop their employee coverage. Just 27% feel that's unlikely. These findings include 40% who believe it is Very Likely versus only seven percent (7%) who say it's Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here .)
The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on July 25-26, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC . See methodology .
