OK, so maybe the 90% figure wasn't all hyperbole: The last time the Gallup polling firm asked Canadians whether they preferred the American health-care system, in 1993, only 2 percent said they did; 96 percent prefered their own system (UPI, 9/13/93). By contrast, a 1998 survey by Zogby, a polling firm that often conduct surveys for Republicans, found that 51 percent of Americans would favor a "government-run health care plan that covers everyone in the same way, like the system used in Canada. It would be paid for through taxes and cover all necessary medical costs."
