Survey: Most Nebraskans support health coverage for all

A survey of Nebraskans’ views on health care says 94% of Nebraskans would like to see affordable health plans available to everyone, regardless of their general health. The survey also says 76% would support a requirement that all Nebraskans must sign up for coverage, should such a plan become available.

The Nebraska Medical Association announced the results Thursday at the conclusion of the Nebraska Health Summit in Omaha. The group is advocating state legislation that would ensure all Nebraskans have health coverage. The survey says 90% of Nebraskans have health insurance.
