"When presented with the option of a government-administered health insurance plan similar to Medicare to compete with private health insurance companies, 72 percent are in favor and just 20 percent oppose. Even 50 percent of Republicans favor that option."

I went back and re-read this thread and still can't find the "questions" I was asked to answer. There was some "theoritical" claim by Gillman about what a beautiful world we'd live in today if there was zero medicaid and medicare and government involvement in anything (wow--and cats and dogs living together and fornicating, I'm sure)...and links to polls that approached the health care debate from a different angle of questioning than the one I did...but where are the questions I'm supposed to answer?
