Correinte reports that Montanians seem to want single-payer.  Ok, it’s an on-line newspaper poll, , easily susceptible to ballot stuffing – the kind many rail against all the time.  If single payer had been on the agenda in the debates and polls were showing mixed reviews on it, etc… I would say that this poll means nothing.

But given how little attention single-payer is getting and given that we hear people will leave the country if single-payer is enacted, 82% tells us something.  And in Baucus’ state?  He shut Single-payer out of the Senate Finance debate in May, and isn’t even including a watered down public option in his bill.

And yet it is 82% – take it for what you will.

Here is the question from the Helena Independent Record:

“If there were a national referendum on single-payer health insurance for all, how would you vote? For, or against?”
