1. Do you have a different link..
I'm getting "Would you travel to another country to get cheaper healthcare?"

4. Not the first time that's happened
but usually they were more upset when poll results embarrassed a sitting GOP president.

5. That was my first thought as well.
That same pesky 33% who don't understand the concept of mind your own fucking beeswax were trailing in the poll. :mad:

8. At least I said I'd travel for cheaper healthcare.
We do need to draw attention to the decline of our healthcare system, largely as a result of coverage and costs.

6. Now it's "would you travel overseas for cheap healthcare"
which is a worthless poll, because those who NEED cheap healthcare are in no financial state for flying overseas.

Would I? Certainly. Could I. Not a fucking chance.

7. I get free healthcare here in the US at the VA. I have an $8 copay on
medicine, but that's no big thing.

9. Hmmm. Maybe they didn't like the results of the cannabis poll.
It doesn't jibe with their need to make us all think most Americans are, in fact, in favor of continued criminalization.

This is one reason why we can't have a national debate on the topic. Everyone would be able to see for themselves that we're all being lied to on this issue.

10. I think it is that exactly.
It's happened before when a poll has skewed off their perferred trajectory - shut it down and throw up something - anything - in its place.
