Although 50% of Americans seek some kind of health reform in the next two years, yet nearly 40 percent reveal it would be a good thing if the legislation proposed by the Democrats and President Barack Obama never materializes, a new Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll finds.

Moreover, 25% aren't sure if health reform would be good or bad for the country.

The pool discovered that while changing health care is still important for many Americans, the most pressing issue is fixing the unstable economy.

When asked to pick two top priorities for the President and Congress, about 8 out of 10 of respondents, regardless of their political persuasion, picked reducing unemployment and creating new jobs as a top priority over the next few months.

Among Democrats, health reform came next (59 percent), while among Republicans preventing a terrorist attack in the United States (64 percent) took second place.

Voters still seek health reform, "but they don't trust this legislation," added Mark C. Blum, executive director of America's Agenda: Health Care for All, a coalition of business, labour union and government leaders.

While Independents helped elect Obama to the White House in 2008, the political winds are diverting, Taylor revealed. "That support has been eroding and eroded, so that actually on many issues the Independents look a bit more like Republicans than they do like Democrats," he observed.
