With the auspicious number of 144 readers voting, and in the wake of the US Supreme Court narrowly upholding the Obamacare reform that requires all Americans to purchase private health insurance, a wide majority of IEET readers prefer either a British National Health Service (42%) with government owned hospitals and health care workers as public employees, or a Canadian-style single payer health insurance system (32%) with largely private hospitals and healthcare workers but national health insurance.
Thank the dead smoke rings of Ayn Rand that only 10% of our readership would like to see the complete privatization of health insurance (and good luck with that).
Our next poll question is “Should Oscar Pistorius, or other cyborg-enhanced amputees, be allowed to complete against athletes with meat legs?”
