View Poll Results: WHAT will be included

Hello:

IF health care reform happens, what parts do you think WILL be included in the law?

This is a poll. Vote for as many as you wish. Your vote will remain PRIVATE.

Clarification, please.

What WILL happen or what do we WANT to happen?

excon · Sep 22, 2009, 08:18 AM

Hello El:

I know what you WANT. I want to know what you think will PASS. This is to see if ANY of your mythical 68% of people who agree with you, post here. You'd think they would, wouldn't you? Let's see.

I guess I should have left an option for IT AIN'T Going to PASS. I'll take that as your vote.

Since this is a poll on what I think will pass if it gets passed... you should've also included an all of the above.

I note you didn't include tort reform or opening up insurance to interstate competition.

Agreed. Tort Reform should be included.

Of course not... Excon wouldn't want a vote based on the actual facts... that would ruin his train of thought.

Hello again,

This is the BEST poll I could come up with given the limited polling resources available. There are many more than 10 options available, for sure. But I tried to give one side 5 things they say will pass, and the other side 5 things they say will pass.

Must you always demean people? :confused:

I only see 2 things that I could sign off on 4and 6 .

I didn't vote for a ban on denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, because the government is going to be doing that even if they don't allow INSURANCE companies to do it.

Ditto for dropping a policy holder because he gets sick. The government is going to do that even if they ban insurance companies from doing it.

I also didn't vote for co-ops, because I don't think they'll pass.

Pretty much everything else, I voted for, because the government WILL do those things if health care passes.

Excon, you didn't include "tax increases" in your list. That'll be part of health care "reform" too. So will increased budget deficits and higher costs of health care. You left those out too.

Hello again, tom:

I can design another poll based upon wants. But, this poll isn't about that... If you only see 2 things you think will pass, tom, then vote for 'em. IF you want to design a poll that asks for WANTS, I'd vote. But, I already KNOW what you guys want, and don't need a poll to tell me.

I'm sure I'll get criticized for not designing a FAIR poll, as the Wolverine already did... But, if you look, before you let your knee whack you in the eye, you'll see that I designed a pretty damn fair poll, given what I was after. I WAS clear in what I was after, wasn't I??

PS> (edited) I realize that reading is NOT one the Wolverines strong suits, but I WAS CLEAR, wasn't I? That would be YES, even though the Wolverine didn't understand the words I wrote..

That's cool. Fortunately for the world, I'm here to correct him.
