Last month's opinion poll asked what would be included in your ideal health insurance reform bill. Your top picks: public option (government-sponsored insurance competes with private insurers) 28%, universal coverage (everyone must either buy insurance or be covered by government) 25%, no public option (private insurance companies compete in the marketplace) 21%, and single-payer (government) coverage 14%. See the complete results here.
This month we're asking how you're celebrating Nurse Practitioner Week (Nov. 8-14). Tell us what you think. Find the poll on the lefthand side of the homepage.
