"Methodology

This Kaiser Health Tracking Poll was designed and analyzed by public opinion researchers
at the Kaiser Family Foundation led by Mollyann Brodie, Ph.D., including Claudia Deane
and Carolina Gutiérrez. The survey was conducted June 1 through June 8, 2009, among a
nationally representative random sample of 1,205 adults ages 18 and older. Telephone
interviews conducted by landline (804) and cell phone (401, including 157 who had no
landline telephone) were carried out in English and Spanish by Princeton Survey Research
Associates.

The margin of sampling error for the total sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points. For
results based on subgroups, the margin of sampling error is higher. Note that sampling
error is only one of many potential sources of error in this or any other public opinion poll.
Trends in this document come from surveys listed on the last page.

Values less than 0.5% are indicated by an asterisk (*).

“VOL” indicates that a response was volunteered by respondent, not an explicitly offered
choice.

Due to rounding, percentages may not add to 100."
