Californians learned about health reform through the news and it influenced their views in a very partisan way.
To see how Californians feel about reform, the CA Endowment completed a poll in mid April. The poll was conducted by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3). The survey sample was 800 voters with an oversample of 200 Decline to State Voters.
Now let’s look at who moves to support after hearing more information and examine why they move. There are two basic categories of positive movers:Those without a strong ideological predisposition to support or oppose reform – notably independents and moderates.Those with some specific likelihood to benefit from reform once they understand its provisions – including voters with pre-existing conditions, those who lack coverage, seniors, and some communities of color.
In the survey, people were read a list of 19 provisions of the new health law in 4 categories, those that relate to expanding access to services, cost & quality of care, insurance company reform, and how health reform will be funded.
These are worded in a neutral way, simply explaining what the law does..these are the top rated provisions that received over 60% support.
Messages stressing the broad distribution of benefits and insurance company reforms are generally the most compelling.The most important provisions to people depend on their circumstances but it’s also good to let people know about the ones that are most popular so that they get repeated..the key to marketing.
What do we want to do?This moment is unique; when was the last time we had such a major reform?There is a wide base of supporters – and the potential for many moreHealth care has now moved from a cloudy problem to a political issueHealth reform will touch everyone. Potential to create a strong constituency empowered to push for more and better health care.Health that expands access to services – has better quality of care – and honestly invests in prevention.Our goal for public education: Leverage this unique moment of health care reform to build a broader and stronger constituency for health, committed to building a health system that improves access and quality of care, and invests in prevention.
With the passage of health reform, this high profile moment presents a key opportunity to establish a stronger base of support for health issues and raise the bar for consumers’ expectations of their health care.The key to better healthcare is a more empowered consumer who understands what they have and begins to make demands for higher quality and better value. To change the culture from consumer passivity to active involvement begins with an understanding of the new law. That understanding will be beneficial for all that we want to do. And as implementation rolls out, public education must continue. This year is critical because there are many who want to weaken, repeal and replace the law and we need to meet them and beat them in their attempts to take these benefits away from people.If reform becomes known to people as coverage and benefits rather than framed as a mandate and taxes—each step of the way will become easier for reformers.Empowered consumerscan create a game-changing new direction for health in our state.
