A recent New York Times polls (the one used to write a article about public
opinion on wiretapping) asked about changing the health care system.  I think
8% said "minor changes" were needed with the rest opting for "fundamental
changes" or that the system should be "completely rebuilt".  I think support
for minor changes peaked in `94 at %19.  Is this result not typical of polls on
the subject?
