".....The poll of 1,202 Americans, conducted earlier this month, showed that:
Two-thirds (67 per cent) want a government health insurance program. Even when prompted with the phrase "Canadian-style health care" (which most Americans equate with socialized medicine), 61 per cent still said yes.
More than a third of those using prescription drugs either buy them in Canada (6 per cent) or plan to (33 per cent).
Eighteen per cent said they were skipping medications or reducing dosages to save money.
More than half (56 per cent) of those with health insurance said they were either paying more or getting less coverage. Thirteen per cent said their premiums had gone up while their benefits had gone down.
An overwhelming majority (78 per cent) agreed with the statement: "The U.S. should treat health care like other necessities of life, such as water and electricity that are regulated by government to ensure fair prices, accountability, access for everyone and quality services.""
