Three other findings:
1. Seventy-five percent of respondents said they don’t agree that the program will effectively reduce emergency room visits. That compares to 25 percent who agree.
2. Nearly all respondents (89 percent) said they agree that the program will burden taxpayers, while 11 percent do not agree.
3. Half of respondents said they believe universal healthcare decisions should be made by the state, and half said they believe those decisions should be made by the federal government.
