Summary of Findings |
|
|
|
Over a period of just seven weeks, from Jan. 14-March 3, a
total of 26,419 people took the online 2008 Health Care for America Survey
sponsored by the AFL-CIO and Working America. Most are insured and employed.
Most are college graduates. More than half are union members. |
| |
|
| |
|
These are the people, it
would seem, most likely to have positive experiences with America’s health
care system. Instead, their responses tell a sobering story about the
breadth of the problems with health care in
America.
They say our system has fundamental problems that must be fixed. And
they’re ready to vote about it. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
The people who took the
survey also submitted 7,489 heart-wrenching stories about the effects of
this broken health care system on them and their families. You’ll see some
of their stories throughout this report. |
