Health care reform is defined as trying to make improvements in what we have now. It is NOT dependent on agreeing with any one way.

Yes.

Interesting that you made the default answer no. I wonder if it makes a difference in the results.

How about that ... current poll shows 2 no and 2 yes. The comments show 3 yes.
 
Common answer is yes but few will be able to qualify what they really mean. It's like libertarian. So many people say they are libertarian but when it comes time to vote they don't vote that way.
 
reform: to put or change into an improved form or condition b : to amend or improve by change of form or removal of faults or abuses


Yes to reform, No to the turd that our government is proposing.

You noticed, eh?

Yes it is the reverse of the usual and intentionally done. It was designed to make people go "whoa" and think a moment.

And yes it's intentionally non-specific, however wanting improvement IS wanting reform. There may be disagreement on the specifics, but I didn't ask for that.
 
The question is biased. Why would people not want improvement, it is by definition "good". The only people who could say no, are either the ones who didn't read your question, or the ones that think the system is now perfect.

or people equate the word reform to the government definition of reform (take over and fxck it up).

I like the simplicity of the question. First things first and all that. If people can't agree on something so fundamental then all is lost.
 
I admittedly don't know enough about what the proposals are at this time, but I'll only say that our current system is broken...FUBAR.

There's something wrong with a country like ours where the medical costs of a medical emergency can put people into bankruptcy.

 
The proper type of reform? Yes. Improper reform? No.

Unfortunately, with the government being involved, one can nearly be assured that it won't be done properly.

People are dying from lack of affordable health care. American life expectancy is dropping. Reform!

Seems like fodder for a good christmas tale. Oh, there already is one. js80 may be lucky enough to get his own tiny tim one day. There are others just like him out there and some yet even more bankrupt. I appreciate him reminding me of this with every post.
 
I think most Americans want some type of reform. The majority don't want government run healthcare. Hell, my insurance just paid $100 for two wrist splints that I could have picked up at a walgreens store for $25. I did not pay a dime. These weren't any different. The doctors office actually charged $200. This is just crazy.
 
I don't think anyone who hasn't personally been raped by an insurance company truly cares enough about reform to seriously think about it. That's why there's 25% no.
