[lbo-talk] health care polls

[Jim Devine]

I recently (30 minutes ago) took a 15 minute telephone poll on medical
care reform. The questions didn't allow me to say "I like the idea of
tax-payer financed state- (or federal-) organized single-payer." It's
also clear from the questions that many people will answer contrary to
what they would like, since many don't understand that having a bigger
insurance pool would cut per-person cost. So take any poll numbers you
hear with a spoonful of salt.
