I have to laugh at all the nashing of teeth over this issue. This measure
will be *soundly* defeated. Why? Simple. The typical voter just has to
answer the following question - "Do I want a healthcare system run by the
same people that run this state?" 

Only committed socialists and far-left liberals will vote for it, and then
only because it fits their belief systems.  I'm sure even they have doubts
about this state's abilities to manage current responsibilites, much less
take on new ones.

My guess is less than 25% yes votes. I'm amazed it even qualified.
