Week 4

Most of the people I sent my survey to answered. I am surprised by the percentages I got for each questions. I focused a lot on if health care should be government regulated or not (so basically who is in charge of it). Majority of my surveyers say that the government should not have a role in providing health care. They also think that employers should be the ones giving health care to their employees.

The responses to me where surprising in the sense that many people were against the new health care system Obama is putting in place. Many people think that it was well thought out, but do not think that the way it will be executed will be the best for the American people. Health care was a very interesting and some what controversial topic, but it really is based on ones opinion on how they would like to be treated in the system. It seems like a good idea to help those who cannot afford healthcare, but in reality, it may not be the best plan because we are all human beings and truly believe that your health comes before the general populations health.

Week 3

I made my survey on Wednesday and sent it out Thursday. I havent heard back from any of my participants yet, but Im hoping they will all respond by early next week. I really hope that the result I receive are mixed.

Week 2

I am planning to survey some family members and family friends (their ages range from 21-60ish, and a mix of males and females) on what type of healthcare is best suited for the US, how they feel about the current healthcare system, how much they know about healthcare, if they are affected in anyway by the current healthcare system, their reaction on Obamacare and other healthcare legislation. I will administer my survey through GoogleDocs. My prediction is that those who are Democratic are going to naturally agree with the legislation passed underneath Obama, such as Obamacare and they might not like the current healthcare system. The Republicans are going to disagree with Obamacare and the legislation. Since many of my surveyees are a little older, the younger ones may not know much about healthcare while the older ones know more and might be becoming affected by it. I do also have some family members that work in hospitals so it will be interesting how they react to this survey.
