And of course, the government will solve all these problems.
And when "hillary care" is finally passed, the supply of medical services will automatically increase to fill the demands of illegal aliens.
The relentless, unending march to socialism, (which will destroy America), continues.
IMO the sampling method is flawed and the data reported is incomplete. It appears that this was limited to households that are unable to afford call screening equipment, thus skewing the sample toward a lower socio-economic demographic.
The specific questions asked was not given. The results suggest some sort of push poll.
It doesn't state what language the poll was given.
It doesn't state the citizenship status of those polled.
I'd like to see a breakdown along these lines also.
Until proven that a poll reflects the opinions of legal, tax paying, achievers, I'll reject it out of hand as liberal agitprop.
This does not represent the majority opinion of most Texans I know.
The focus on insurance is all wrong but not surprising. As long as the medical community (i.e. doctors) can tightly restrict the number of med school students and med schools for that matter we will continue to have a small body of overpaid doctors. The med schools intentionally stack the rosters with foreign students knowing that many will leave the US and not dilute the field.
Break that stranglehold and the free enterprise system will fix the crisis very quickly.
The Constitution is to protect us against such 'legal blunder'. If there is no protection, then we will have the legal citizens not being able to afford insurance, yet paying for insurance for illegal aliens.
This sounds like economic slavery to me.
Texans, huh? Reminds me of a couple of quotes by a heroic character in a movie I like
"I never met a Texan I couldn't shade."
If I ever meet a Texan who hasn't drunk water from a hoofprint I think I'll shake his hand or buy him a Daniel Webster ceegar."
In a way this doesn't suprise me. To many times I have heard people say "Well if they can get it why can't I"?
The purpose of the welfare state was to create a dependency on government thus enslavement. It seem to be working pretty well!!
RETCH!
PUKE!
DRY HEAVE!
The Houston Chronicle is a komunist rag, unfit to line the bottom of a bird cage.
Socialism is the sacrament of the brain-dead.
If you have not read "Mobocracy" by Matt Robinson, do yourself a favor and do so.
He pretty much blows away any rationale for paying attention to or relying upon polls, especially of this kind.
In the present case, I suspect you'll find they are polling people who have essentially NO IDEA of any of the ramifications or consequences to their answers. They simply respond to the pollster's questions, which without knowing exactly what they were, and how they were framed, makes them worthless for analysis.
Robinson showed how you can do two polls at the same time on exactly the same issue, with the same sample-size, and get DIAMETRICALLY opposite results.
Again, this is just bullsh*t, another lame attempt by the press at "journalism," which they no longer know how to do.
