Only about 25% of U.S. consumers say they feel extremely secure about health care, and 63% say they would pay higher taxes to support a universal health care system.
Researchers at Catholic Healthcare West, San Francisco, uncovered those results while analyzing results from a recent survey of 1,771 U.S. adults ages 18 and older.
The hospital system commissioned the survey to support a new Health Security Index that will be based on consumer answers to a list of 17 questions.
