Americans Split on how to pay for health insurance and reform health care -

pie chart In a survey not so surprising to USA Today / Gallup, the data show that Americans are Amped on reforming the health insurance system and health care, but they are not so sure about how to pay for it.

Fifty-six percent of respondents prefer Congress and the president from major health reforms this year, while only 33 percent oppose, reported USA Today .

How should we pay for such legislation, however, is relatively large. The most popular idea for the payment of the reform is with the employer's money. About 61 percent of respondents said they prefer requiring employers to provide health benefits or pay a fee to help employees pay for coverage

An increase taxes for most Americans rich is also on the table -. And 58 percent favor that idea. Finally, USA Today reports, about half of respondents said they prefer an increased fee for soft drinks.

When real health benefits were thrown on the block to pay for reform, support decreases. A majority of 53 percent opposed taxing health insurance plans if they cover more than a certain level of care and an even larger majority oppose cutting Medicare.

The biggest question remains political. How legislators can keep them happy voters in drafting a bill that will have a positive impact on the system?

It is now mid-July, we will see how things progress (and increase) the date August trades.
