Good question. A TIME/CNN poll of 1,024 Americans conducted last week suggests that the country is of two minds about health reform. Although 85% responded that they were "very satisfied" or at least "fairly satisfied" with the quality of medical care they receive, 68% said they think traditional fee-for-service plans provide better health care than HMOs, and only 41% of those covered by managed care said they were "very confident" that their plan would pay for their treatment if they got really sick...

A New York Times poll of 1,048 teenagers ages 13 through 17 found that when asked what they would most like to change, 36% of the girls responded "my looks" or "my body," a percentage that was higher than in the 1994 survey.
