For the benefit of any foreign readers, Medicare is a public health care program run by the US government.
In other words, 39% of the people who took this poll are complete idiots who should probably be locked up for their own (and the public's) safety,
Or, they might only mean that politicians shouldn't meddle with it. We'd have to see the questions, to be sure.
