Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The word "independence" was heavily featured in Monday's oral argument before the Supreme Court on a case questioning the legitimacy of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirement that insurers cover certain preventive services free of charge to patients.
51% : This is relevant because the ACA requires all insurers -- including private insurers and self-insured employers such as those in the lawsuit -- to cover at no charge any preventive services that are recommended by the USPSTF (including among other care screenings for breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancers; depression; diabetes; obesity; and sexually transmitted infections).
