'Analysis of data from the American National Election Survey show prior to 2009, racial attitudes had a small, non-significant influence on white Americans' opinion on whether "health care should be voluntarily left up to individuals." As debate over Obama's health care proposals increased, a significant change in racialization on health care opinions was observed, according to a study published in February by Micheal Tesler, a political scientist professor at Brown University. Antiblack stereotypes, which had no independent influence on preference for governmental insurance in March 2009, became a strong predictor of views on this issue by September of the same year. Additionally, Tesler found that when the same health care proposals were attributed to Obama as opposed to Clinton, racial resentment and antiblack stereotypes significantly reduced support for health care reform.'
