hi attitudes

In a statistical brief that helps explain why so few younger Americans are signing up for coverage under the exchanges, AHRQ survey data for 2011 finds that 13.4% of adults aged 18 to 64 think they are two healthy to need insurance and 26% said health insurance isn't worth the cost, relatively stable with the same responses in 2010.  But  a smaller percent agreed with the statement in both years, indicating that attitudes can shift in both directions.  Interestingly, wealthier and higher education people are more likely to say they need insurance and it is worth the cost.
