When people oppose reform in 2010, they don't really know what they're opposing.

Ironically, there are several important elements of health reform that majorities of Americans, across segments, support:

• Transparency of costs and quality, supported by 87%
• Administrative simplification, supported by 76%
• Piloting new reimbursement programs, supported by 75%
• Creating an insurance exchange, favored by 73%
• Preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining coverage, supported by 2/3 of Americans
• Allowing kids to stay on parents’ insurance plans until they turn 25-26, supported by 65%.

The biggest opposition overall is for an individual mandate, opposed by 2 in 3 Americans.

Most tellingly, The Poll finds that it doesn’t much matter what the details are:“support for, or opposition to, health care reform has little to do with what is actually proposed,” Harris’s polling data indicates.
