 2005 Health Confidence Survey: Cost and Quality Not Linked The 2005 Health Confidence Survey (HCS) represents the eighth wave of an annual
survey to assess the attitudes of the American public regarding the health care system in the
United States. It is co-sponsored by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), a private,
nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization, and Mathew Greenwald & Associates,
Inc., a Washington, DC-based market research firm, and funded by grants from 13 private
organizations.
Findings from the 2005 HCS appear to confirm the notion
that Americans tend to view cost as one of the least important factors when considering health
care quality. In particular, they are less likely to see a relationship between quality and the
comparative costs of health care providers.Excerpt
