Americans are sharply divided along party lines when it comes to their views of the US healthcare system versus other countries' programs, according to the poll conducted two weeks ago by the Harvard School of Public Health and Harris Interactive.

One in five Republicans said they favor a presidential candidate who believes US healthcare should be made more like the universal healthcare systems in Canada, France, and Great Britain.
