Karen - The problem with your survey is that it applies only to one type of proposal - a plan that would require everyone with insurance to switch. If that were the only way to skin this cat, I'd say you were right. Instead, I'd say that such a survey makes an excellent propaganda tool, but doesn't tell the whole story as far as support for some form of universal healthcare coverage goes. >>I've already offered up a plan that does that. Expand Medicaid for those who can't afford insurance or can't get it and let everyone else keep what they have. I think that's salable despite its cost. It's very consistent with the American standard of giving.<< Not a bad plan, as far as it goes. I don't see how it would reduce costs, however. - Allen
