Absolutely every human being should have health care/medical insurance coverage if he or she wants it. No exceptions.

I agree with that
I disagree with that

---

For people who cannot afford health care/medical insurance coverage:

they could if they worked harder
charity should be able to give them coverage
the medical profession should give service anyway
government needs to play a role using tax money

---

If medical service providers stressed healthy habits and illness prevention, medical costs in most nations could be reduced by more than 50%.

That sounds right to me
That sounds wrong to me

---

The quality of my medical care should depend mainly on:

how much I can afford to pay
what country or region I live in
which government I have
luck
it should be up to the medical profession
it should be up to the insurance profession

---

Suppose government decides to spend money on providing health care insurance to people who cannot afford their own. Where should that money come from?

a profits tax on the medical industry
a profits tax on the insurance industry
an income tax on all people with incomes
a site value tax on all site value owners
a sales tax on all buying and selling
a property tax on all property owners
a wealth tax on all asset owners

---

How should the government decide whether to intervene in a type of insurance?

It is never right for government to offer insurance of any kind; only the private market should do that
It is always right for the government to offer insurance in any market where it sees a reason to do so
Government should only offer insurance to protect the lives and health of citizens
Government should offer insurance to people whose income is below a certain amount
Government should offer insurance to people whose total assets are below a certain amount
Unsure

---

If your government offers health care/medical insurance, is private insurance also available for those who wish it?

Yes
No

---

Hospitals should be privately owned and privately run.

Yes, that's right
No, they should be government-owned and government-run
I prefer to have some of each type

---

Suppose you go to a private hospital. Do you care whether it is a for-profit corporation, or a non-profit corporation?

Yes
No

Thank you for participating!
