Question:
Are you in favor of the proposed health care reform?

Absolutely! This needs to be passed immediately!
It would be nice, but it will never happen.
I think we need reform, but not with this bill.
Not at all. It's just a bad idea and far too expensive.
I haven't paid much attention to the situation.
This is not a scientific poll.
