More and more people are uncomfortable with President Clinton's health-care proposal, a new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows.
Fifty-two percent say there is a health-care crisis.
But about the Clinton plan, which guarantees universal coverage:
-- 43% say they support it, a new low; 47% oppose it.
-- 63% think there would be too much government.
-- 48% think there would be less choice of doctors.
And 59% would rather see Congress change the health-care system gradually.
The poll does find support for a key part of Clinton's proposal: 46% agree employers should pay most of their workers' insurance premiums.
Employers would pay 80% under the Clinton plan.
White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes is "encouraged . . . that there are strong majorities who support key elements" of the plan.
Says Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole: "You don't have to do everything in one year."
The April 16-18 poll of 1,002 has a 3-point margin of error.
