Family Foundtion Obamacare Tracking Poll for December 2014

No Yes Don’t Know/Refused
38% 43% 19%
Establish a government panel to make decisions about end-of-life care for people on Medicare
No Yes Don’t Know/Refused

I note that fraction who have a favorable view of the law is identical to the fraction who answer no if asked if it establishes death panels.
