9/10. Missed #1, which I interpreted wrong (I figured it was false because many Americans will not have to pay the fine if they are low income. Probably overthought it.)

Does the fact that I scored 10/10 despite the fact that I’ve totally ignored the issue (long story) say something about the wording of the questions?

4/10. I was watching Top Gear while taking the quiz, accidentally skipped over a question that I think I would have guessed right. Also, I’m Canadian, and the only news I hear about Obamacare is Fox News Sunday (which is on in the background when I try to wake up), and my best friend from high school who moved to Canada and works for the ACLU. I THOUGHT the two forces would balance themselves out. 😃

Edit: I got #9 right because of the conversation with said ACLU Canadian ex-pat, to which I said, “So if you’re not getting socialized medicine, then who the fuck cares?”

“You answered 10 out of 10 questions correctly, better than 99.6% of Americans.”

Not posted as a sneak brag, but to draw attention to this:

“… better than 99.6% of Americans.”

Jesus wept. Jose did too.

> 9/10. The one I missed: “4. Will the health reform law expand the existing Medicaid program to cover low-income, uninsured adults regardless of whether they have children?” . . .

I must have been copying your notes; exact same result.
