The votes for no were coming in at a steady rate which led us to believe an automated function was at work. Whether it was an outside party using automated tools for clicks or something in the polling code remains unknown. There is a story there if it can be documented.

They took the poll off the Fox site when our click through rate matched, then surpassed the clicks for the votes they wanted. We went straight to the hosting site at http://polldaddy.com/community/poll/2936498/.

5. Just go to the home page.
It is still up there. Not sure why the link isn't working though.
Maybe this one will.

7. The results right now...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 11:51 AM by hypocrisyandlies
Yes. It's not perfect, but it's a giant step in the right direction. 10% (5,039 votes)
Unsure. I agree that the health insurance industry needs reform, but is this the answer? 4% (2,266 votes)
No. This is just a giant tax package wrapped in 2,700 pages stamped "health care reform." 85% (44,967 votes)
Other (post a comment) 1% (610 votes)
Total Votes: 52,882

My question: Why aren't more people acknowledging that the health insurance industry NEEDS reform?

Edited to fix my horrible grammar.

8. I 100% agree
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 12:47 PM by cowman
that health care in this country needs reformed, just not this POS bill. Look, as a Firefighter/Paramedic in Las Vegas, I can tell you that the people of NV are 3 to 1 against this POS bill because of no PO, mandated buy from the corrupt ins. co. and quite frankly as one patient said to me since when has the Feds run anything efficiently and on budget. People don't believe that this HCR is not going to raise taxes or give better service

This is the #1 reason Harry Reid is going to get his ass kicked in Nov because the citizens of NV see Reid as shoving this bill down our throats and here in NV we are very independent and don't like the Feds telling us what to do
