Despite recent polling finding that a majority of Americans prefer a smaller overall government, a new poll by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health found that a majority of Americans—52 percent—prefer a bigger government providing more health services, while just 37 percent support a smaller government providing fewer health services. In addition, the poll found that six in 10 Americans believe that if the United States spends more now on measures to improve health and prevention, the country will save money in the long run.
