Last month’s online poll asked Medical Edge and Medical Design readers if they are for or against healthcare reform. The results show that 42% answered in the affirmative, while 38% are opposed. The remainder is undecided. For the sake of comparison, a recent Gallup poll shows that 39% of Americans are opposed and “would direct their members of Congress to vote against a healthcare reform bill this fall,” while 37% “want their members to vote in favor.”

This month’s question is a follow-up to last month’s:
Are you for or against the proposed bill calling for medical device makers to collectively pay $4 billion in annual fees for 10 years to help pay for healthcare reform? (Payments would vary based on each company’s market share.)
