AARP poll shows health care concern
Published April 9, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
Sixty-two percent of Americans polled by the AARP say they believe that health care in Colorado is in a state of crisis or has major problems.
The majority of respondents are extremely or very concerned with matters of health care costs, including having to pay more for their current care (57 percent), having adequate coverage at an affordable cost (56 percent), and not being able to pay for the costs associated with a major illness or injury (54 percent).
In addition, half of those polled are “extremely” or “very likely” to vote for an extension of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) temporary suspension beyond 2010, which allows Colorado to keep an estimated $3.7 billion that would otherwise be returned to taxpayers, and use these funds for statewide programs including health care. Another 23 percent are somewhat likely to vote for this extension.
