And despite pushback from moderate Democratic lawmakers against plans that would dramatically expand the government’s role in health care, voters place more faith in federal health agencies than in either Congress or the insurance industry to fight for affordable health care.

In the July 8-10 poll of 1,988 registered voters, more than four in 10 said they had “a lot” or “some trust” in government regulators, such as the Health and Human Services Department and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to keep the costs of health care low. That’s compared to 23 percent who said the same of the private insurance market.

Still, 47% said they didn’t have much or any faith in the government agencies to lower health care costs, and other entities drew even worse numbers.
