Washington State Results — Code Blue Now!

Washington State Results — Code Blue Now!:

"In December 2007, CodeBlueNow! worked with The Gilmore Research Group, a Northwest market research firm, to conduct a phone survey, known as the CodeBlueNow! Pulse®. The CodeBlueNow! Pulse® is intended to gauge the public's views about priorities in health care reform. CodeBlueNow! intends to use this data to give voice to citizen's values and ideas on health care reform."

I haven't had time to digest all of this. There are both a full report, an executive summary and links to Iowa results on this page.

Just glancing though, I don't find anything to surprising, though I think some of the results reflect a lack of knowledge of the current system and options by the particpants. For example, asking about "government run healthcare" is so loaded as to beg for an uninformed answer. Perhaps they phrased it better in the telephone scripit, I don't know. But even so, most people at least recognize how dysfunctional our system is, but possibly don't appreciate the possibilities and options that could be accomplished with some strong national leadership.
