This Issue Brief presents the findings from the 2004 Health Confidence Survey (HCS), which
focuses on Americans satisfaction with the health care system today and their confidence in the
systemÂs future. It examines Americans attitudes about employment-based health benefits, health
savings accounts (HSAs), and benefits in the work place. The Issue Brief also looks at long-term
trends in satisfaction and confidence in the health care system since the first HCS was conducted in
1998.

today. Many Americans say they are dipping into savings accounts and reducing retirement
savings to pay for rising health care costs.
