Some rather interesting numbers low in the Washington Post’s poll: Only 16 percent think the quality of their care would improve if health care reform is enacted; 32 percent think it will get worse; 50 percent think it will remain the same. Asked if other peoples’ health care would get better or worse, 35 percent said better, 38 percent said worse, 24 percent said it would stay the same.

And the issue may not be quite the decisive political issue we’ve been led to believe: Only 22 percent said they would be more likely to support a candidate who supports the Obama administration’s proposals, with 12 percent saying they were much more likely to support that candidate.

Only 23 percent said they would be more likely to oppose a candidate who supported the Obama plan, with only 17 percent saying they were much more likely to oppose. A majority, 54 percent, said the candidate’s position on this would make “no difference” on their opinion of the candidate.

Also, a mere 63 percent support a law limiting the amount of money someone can collect if they win a lawsuit after being injured by bad medical care.
