    True.

    But if THAT MANY people on Facebook are against nationalized health care, and 70% of them are likely from countries that OFFER nationalized health care, then it tells me that they are people who have experience with what national health care means AND 70% OF THEM DON'T LIKE IT.

    Essentially the poll has NO statistical value whatsoever. But it SHOULD be a warning to us about how well liked nationalized health care is around the world.

    Et did you ever think not everyone voted on this poll ? What if 10 people voted and 7 said no that would be 70&#37;. Hence Bullsh*t.

    True again.

    But then why mention 300 million users?

    I have no intention of checking the poll to see how many people have seen and voted in the poll. I happen to hate all the social linking websites.

    But if it wasn't a significant number of people who voted in the poll, why mention it at all?

    That's not a question for you, actually. It's a question for whoever first posted the poll.

    I am with you on the social networking sites ET! I mention the 300 million because that has been on the news lately so I just wanted to point out it is not 300 million Americans.

    About 1/3 the number in the IBD poll and 1/4 the number in the NPR poll.

    Rough estimates, of course.
