In a microsurvey from InCrowd last week, 63 percent of participants reported they are “not at all confident” either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton would successfully improve healthcare. Only 8 percent said they were very confident either candidate would improve the industry, and 29 percent said they were somewhat confident.
Most nurses reported healthcare costs and insurance were their No. 1 concern they wanted the next president to address. Gaining access to quality care was the No. 2 biggest concern they wanted addressed.
The survey also asked nurses to choose the candidate who would address the healthcare concerns most important to them. The breakdown was:
- Donald Trump: 29 percent
- Hillary Clinton: 25 percent
- No candidate exists: 18 percent
- Bernie Sanders: 11 percent
- Ben Carson, MD: 10 percent
InCrowd, a real-time market insights technology firm, collected responses from 200 nurses between Oct. 24 and Oct. 26.
