Private Health Care Advocates.........Move South

American States and cities are falling in line and adopting universal healthcare.
The politicians are responding to the citizens who are demanding Canada's system
for a couple of reasons. Healthcare is one of the leading causes of personal
bankruptcy and American experts are proving that Canadians are healthier than
Americans, especially in areas such as diabetes detection because we don't have
to show the credit card on our way in.
That's just what you want right? Have like exxon, inco, and chevron running our
healthcare. Give me a break. For those of you greedy slick-hands that want
access - go south. We can fix the system and determine how much money we will
spend on services.

   Methodology - U.S. Survey

   The Harris Poll(R) was conducted online within the United States between
July 12 and 16, 2004 among a nationwide cross section of 2,242 adults (aged 18
and over). Figures for age, sex, race, education, region and household income
were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual
proportions in the population. "Propensity score" weighting was also used to
adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
   In theory, with probability samples of this size, one could say with 95
percent certainty that the results have a sampling error of plus or minus 2
percentage points of what they would be if the entire adult population had
been polled with complete accuracy. Unfortunately, there are several other
possible sources of error in all polls or surveys that are probably more
serious than theoretical calculations of sampling error. They include refusals
to be interviewed (non-response), question wording and question order, and
weighting. It is impossible to quantify the errors that may result from these
factors. This online sample was not a probability sample.
   These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National
Council on Public Polls.
