4 Background California is experiencing an economic downturn characterized by lower state revenues and higher need for state services. As a result, there is now a nearly $24 billion shortfall in the State budget. In response, the State is recommending about $7.6 billion in program spending cuts. These cuts affect health and long-term care services including medical care for children and long-term care in nursing homes and at home for older persons and those with disabilities. AARP California is greatly concerned about how cuts of this magnitude would affect the current and future health and long-term care needs of Californians, especially those, affected by the economic downturn, who lose health insurance or are unable to get the long-term care they need. Therefore, AARP is examining ways to increase state revenue that would help balance the state budget and generate money for health and long-term care services by Reinstating its vehicle license fee Increasing its tax on tobacco products Temporarily reinstating the 10 percent and 11 percent income tax brackets on high income taxpayers Each source would generate a different amount of revenue for the state. California s current average vehicle license fee is $64. The state has been cutting the fee since By reinstating the fee to $148 per vehicle, California could generate about $4 billion. Increasing the state tax on tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco could generate about $600 million. Finally, a temporary reinstatement of the 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets, which would affect the top two percent of taxpayers, could generate about $3 billion. This survey measures the opinions of Californians age 18 and older about generating money for California's health and long-term care services. Specifically, this telephone survey of 1,000 randomly selected California adults (weighted n=994) explores: Opinion about current state funding for health and long-term care services Importance of maintaining current levels of state funding for health and longterm care services Attitude toward state candidates who support maintaining the delivery of health and long-term care services even if it means generating additional state revenue Support for three revenue-generating proposals to help balance the state budget and maintain health and long-term care services Maintaining Health and Long-Term Care: A Survey on Addressing the Revenue Shortfall in California
5 An annotated questionnaire, appended to the report, discloses exact question wording and all responses to the survey. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding or non-response. Highlights More than half (56%) of California adults age 18 or older say there is not enough money in the state budget to meet the need and ensure the quality of health and longterm care services compared to just six percent who say there is more than enough and 19 percent who say there is enough money. Nine in ten Californians think that it is important to maintain current levels of state funding for health and long-term care services with eight in ten saying it is very important. Fifty-four percent of Californians would be more likely to vote for a state candidate who supported maintaining the delivery of health and long-term care services even if it means generating additional state revenue while nine percent are less likely to vote for such a candidate. For 26 percent, it would not make a difference. Two out of three proposals to generate money to help balance the state budget and maintain health and long-term care services garner support from at least two-thirds of Californians. Seven in ten support an increase in California s tax on tobacco products. Two in three support reinstating California s 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets, while less than one in four oppose it. A third proposal to reinstate California s vehicle license fee yields more opposition (60%) than support (31%).

6 Findings Nine times more Californians believe there is not enough money in the state budget for health and long-term care services than believe there is more than enough. Fifty-six percent of California adults think that there is not enough money in the state budget to meet the need and ensure quality health and long-term care services while six percent think there is more than enough money. Just 19 percent say there is enough money. Perception of Current State Budget for Health and Long-Term Care Services (n=994) Not Enough 56% More Than Enough 6% Don't Know 19% Enough 19% The majority of Californians believe it is very important to maintain current levels of funding for health and long-term care services. Eight in ten California adults age 18 and older think that it is very important to maintain current levels of funding for health and long-term care services. Another 11 percent think that it is somewhat important. Importance of Maintaining Current Levels of Funding for Health and Long-Term Care Services (n=994) Very Important 82% Somewhat Important 11% Don't Know/ Refused 3% Not Very/ Not At All Important 4% Maintaining Health and Long-Term Care: A Survey on Addressing the Revenue Shortfall in California 3
7 To help balance the state budget and maintain current funding for health and long-term care services, about three times as many Californians strongly support an increase in the tobacco tax and temporarily reinstating the 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets as strongly oppose these revenue sources. California adults were asked whether they support or oppose three proposals to help balance the state budget and maintain current funding for health and long-term care services. Two-thirds or more support the increase in the tobacco tax (71%) and temporary reinstatement of the 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets (67%). However, just about a third support reinstating the vehicle license fee (31%). Nearly six in ten strongly support increasing California s tax on tobacco products to generate about $600 million to maintain health and long-term care services. Another 12 percent somewhat support this tobacco product tax increase. Just over two in five strongly support temporarily reinstating the 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets to generate about $3 billion to maintain health and long-term care services. Another one in five somewhat support the reinstatement of the income tax for high income taxpayers. Two in five strongly oppose reinstating California s vehicle license fee from the current average of $64 to the 1999 average of $148 to generate about $4 billion to maintain health and long-term care services. Almost one in five somewhat oppose the reinstatement of the fee. Support for Proposals to Help Balance the State Budget and Maintain Current Funding for Health and Long-Term Care Services (n=994) 100% 80% 60% 20% 7% 12% 15% 8% 23% 42% 40% 20% 0% 59% Increase Tobacco Tax 44% Reinstate Income Tax Brackets 18% 16% 15% Reinstate Vehicle License Fee Strongly Support Somewhat Support Somewhat Oppose Strongly Oppose Maintaining Health and Long-Term Care: A Survey on Addressing the Revenue Shortfall in California 4
8 Californians are six times more likely than not to vote for a candidate who supports maintaining health and long-term care services even if it means generating additional state revenues. Over half of California adults would be more likely to vote for a candidate for state office who supported maintaining delivery of health and long-term care services even if it means generating additional state revenues, compared to just one in ten who are less likely to vote for such a candidate. For onequarter, it would make no difference. Vote for Candidate Who Supports Maintaining Health and Long-Term Care Services Even by Generating Additional State Revenues (n=994) Don't Know/ Refused 11% More Likely 54% Makes No Difference 26% Less Likely 9% Conclusions Over eight in ten Californians believe it is very important to maintain funding for health and long-term care services. As California seeks ways to generate revenues to pay for health and long-term care services, increasing the tobacco tax and temporarily reinstating the 10 and 11 percent income tax brackets are actions that more than two-thirds of Californians support. Moreover, generating revenues to maintain delivery of health and long-term care services is an issue that could influence voting behavior. Six times as many Californians (54%) would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports maintaining health and long-term care services even if it means generating additional state revenue than those (9%) who would be less likely to vote for such a candidate.

9 Methodology AARP commissioned Woelfel Research to conduct a random digit dial (RDD) telephone survey of adults age 18 or older in California. Depending on respondent preference, Woelfel Research administered the survey in English or Spanish. From a random sample of 10,598, a total of 1,000 interviews were completed from June 4 June 12, 2002, yielding a 12 percent response rate and 93 percent cooperation rate. 1 The survey has a sampling error of plus or minus 3.2 percent. This means that in 95 out of 100 samples of this size, the results obtained in the sample would fall in a range of 3.2 percentage points of what would have been obtained if every person in California age 18 or older had been surveyed. Survey responses were weighted to reflect the distribution of age, gender, education, and Hispanic origin in the adult population of California. Due to rounding of the weights, the final number of cases for the weighted dataset is 994. Weighted responses to all survey questions are in the attached annotated questionnaire. For more information about this study, contact Rachelle Cummins, AARP Knowledge Management, (202) The response rate is Response Rate 3 and the cooperation rate is Cooperation Rate 3 from the following publication: The American Association for Public Opinion Research Standard Definitions: Final Dispositions of Case Codes and Outcome Rates for Surveys.
