More people think their health care will get worse than believe it will improve if health insurance overhaul proposed by Democrats becomes law, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted Sept. 10-12.

This tepid public sentiment is similar to polling data from 1993 and 1994 when the Clinton administration was proposing comparable changes in the U.S. health care system.

Sixteen percent of the respondents to the most recent poll say their health care would improve if the proposed changes are enacted, and 32 percent say their health care will be worse if that happens.

By comparison, the same poll in late September of 1993 found 19 percent saying their health care would improve and 31 percent saying it would get worse.
