Fox News poll: 68 percent concerned about their health care under new law

Dana BlantonNearly 7 out of 10 voters are concerned about their personal health care under the Affordable Care Act and a majority wants to take the health care system back to 2009, according to the latest Fox News national poll.  

The poll, released Tuesday, finds that 68 percent of voters are concerned about their health care under the new system.  That includes 43 percent “very” concerned and another 25 percent “somewhat” concerned. 

The number feeling concerned is more than twice that of those who are unworried (31 percent).  

Even a 56-percent majority of Democrats feels concerned (31 percent “very” concerned).  By comparison, 72 percent of independents and 77 percent of Republicans feel that way.

There’s no gender gap, as about two-thirds of men (65 percent) and women (70 percent) alike are concerned.  
Least concerned is the under-30 crowd.  Even so, 60 percent of that group feels worried.  

Voters between 55-64 years old are the age group most likely to feel concerned about their health care under the new law:  77 percent are worried.  

The poll also finds a 54-percent majority wants to go back to the health care system that was in place in 2009.  About a third -- 35 percent -- thinks it would be better to leave the new law in place.
