Almost half of Marylanders still think the new health care law will have a positive impact on the quality of health care in Maryland, a new Goucher poll found. But only half of those surveyed said they had heard of the website MarylandHealthConnection.gov, the state’s access portal for health insurance.
The respondents also believed the insurance companies were the most prepared to handle the implementation of the health insurance reform and the federal government was the least prepared.
The poll was conducted by the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College in Towson Oct. 27-31, contacting 665 Maryland residents by land line and cell phone. It has a margin of error of 3.8%. Unlike other public polls released to the media, such as the Gonzales Research poll, the Goucher center surveys residents regardless of whether they are registered or likely voters.

Add 10,000 government administrators to an existing system and tell me it's going to save me money.
Nancy Pelosi will be the first to sell that.
Just stay away from that site. I looked at the sign in page for 3 minutes once, and left. My cellphone rang for 3 days with insurance salesmen who knew my name wanting to know if I wanted to shop for insurance!!!!
Secure site??? I don't think so....
that's cause the majority of Marylanders are idiots! hence being a heavily democratic state.
Guarantee you the majority of those calls were made to people on the Western Shore.
A plan that was developed, implemented and managed by democrats and blamed on repulicans.
100% were western Shore calls. If you have no coverage then any coverage will be better. Can you afford it, an entirely different question. Will the quality be better for people that currently have insurance, absolutely not. To make it a viable system the healthy people have to pay so unhealthy people can make claims. That is an equation that no politician can change. Then you add a ton of gov't employees to oversee it, a recipe for disaster.
