Americans want health care benefits, but not the costs: No surprise in poll

Americans speak out in a poll on health care and costs. Either it's by USA TODAY/Gallup, or the University of DUH ...

An excerpt:

WASHINGTON — Most Americans want a big health care bill passed this year, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, but they are less enthusiastic about paying for it.

And while a majority of respondents say controlling costs should be the legislation's top goal, more than 9 in 10 oppose limits on getting whatever tests or treatments they and their doctor think are necessary ... the findings underscore the difficult path ahead for the White House and Congress as the health care debate enters crunch time.
