no, it's not meaningless. it's significant. that cbs poll was conducted in 2007, prior to obama's nomination. it shows that americans are desperate enough for public health insurance that they are willing to pay higher taxes. americans wanting to pay higher taxes is astounding. but as far as getting down to the specifics of said leglislation, i can see your point. however, at some point or another, americans will have to pay higher taxes, as you've got two multi-billion wars raging, tax cuts for the rich, an empire to fund, a bloated defence budget to maintain, and massive budget deficits and national debt. plus all of that borrowed cash from china.

lol are you serious? yeah, we all live in igloos, and there's only one doctor every 30 kilometres or so.

no, doctors aren't forced to do anything. canada isn't a communist country.
