For the first time in more than a decade, a majority of Americans say it’s not the government’s responsibility to ensure access to healthcare.

A new Gallup survey shows an all-time low in public support for a government guarantee of healthcare coverage — just as President Obama’s healthcare law is bringing that guarantee dramatically closer to reality.
