在这篇文章中，我们报告了一项新研究的结果，该研究调查了大量美国成年人为医疗改革买单的意愿。与之前的研究一样，我们发现自我认同的共和党人、年长的美国人和高收入的美国人对改革的支持程度较低。然而，这些基本发现掩盖了公众舆论的三个重要特征。首先，收入对改革的支持有实质性影响，甚至在政治派别不变的情况下也是如此。事实上，收入是支持改革的最重要决定因素。其次，收入对改革支持的负面影响早在收入分配阶段就开始了，家庭年收入在5万美元以下。第三，尽管年长的美国人对改革的看法不如年轻人，但他们反对改革的主要原因是不喜欢大的政策变化，而不是改革本身。
In this article, we report results from a new study that surveyed a large, national sample of American adults about their willingness to pay for health reform. As in previous work, we find that self-identified Republicans, older Americans, and high-income Americans are less supportive of reform. However, these basic findings mask three important features of public opinion. First, income has a substantial effect on support for reform, even holding political affiliation constant. Indeed, income is the most important determinant of support for reform. Second, the negative effects of income on support for reform begin early in the income distribution, at annual family income levels of 50,000. Third, although older Americans have a less favorable view of reform than the young, much of their opposition is due to dislike of large policy changes than to reform per se.
