This seems like a really, really bad survey question. Unless it was sent only to people with about the same income, you were asking participants very different questions. $500 means very different things if you are making $200k or $30k.
It’s a universal health care program,
Michael, how much can it cost? $100?
Basically, if looked at as a percentage of income, $500 to the former is the equivalent of $75 to the latter. Or turn it around: $500 to a $30k income is $3333 to a $200k income.
You have to control for this in the sample and responses or the answers are trash.
