Princeton, N.J.–(ENEWSPF)–December 22, 2009. In a year when debate over the nation’s health care system and need for reform sparked a political rollercoaster, Americans’ confidence in health care remained mostly consistent throughout 2009, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Care Consumer Confidence Index (RWJF Index). After a sharp rise in confidence in October, the RWJF Index fell in November from 104.4 to 96.9 points—returning to a confidence level closer to those seen throughout most of 2009. Since the RWJF Index began in April 2009, confidence has averaged 99.2 points.
