Poll: Americans' concern about healthcare drops off as AHCA slows

As momentum of the AHCA stalled in the Senate, fewer Americans view healthcare as the greatest problem facing the nation, according a new Gallup Poll.

Though 18 percent of Americans saw healthcare as the country’s biggest problem in May, only 7 percent of those surveyed believe that to be true now. Twenty five percent of Americans now see government as the biggest problem, up from 18 percent in May.

Data for this survey was collected via phone interviews between June 7 and June 11. With Senate passage of the AHCA expected in the coming weeks, July’s results for this survey could be very different.
