I am wondering if it was an ESL problem. Should it be obligatory under the current system, a la Massachusetts? No. Should it be provided to all, a la the civilized world? Yes.

I think they mean "Health care should be provided for all Americans." The notion of health INSURANCE is a peculiar American one, and only exists because of our bizarre way of paying for health care.

2. No dig at Kucinich, Edwards, or anyone else... |
|
...but I find these candidate matches simply don't work on any level.
The last one I did said I should vote for Gravel, which I wouldn't do even if he wasn't running dead last. (Sure, Gravel has some talking points I agree with, but so do a lot of people I know who haven't held an elected office for 25 years, and I wouldn't automatically vote for THEM, either.)
BTW, Kucinich came next, then Obama--and I AM supporting Barack. Hmmmmm....

5. This is the problem with computerized matching |
|
It's black and white, and it depends on the programmer to evaluate and input everything accurately. Also, you're probably not voting for Gravel for biographical, or personality reasons. Most of these polls don't account for that.
