Americans' opinions about how health reform will affect their health care varies depending on the type of health plan they have. According to a recent report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, regardless of the plan, less than 5 percent of individuals who have private insurance say they are extremely knowledgeable about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
The report found that people with consumer-driven health plans and high-deductible health plans are more likely than those with traditional coverage to think the new law will affect them personally and that it will have a negative impact on their personal costs, benefit, and quality of care.
Additionally, whether a person is a Democrat, Republican, or undecided about their party affiliation can also influence how he or she views PPACA.
