I read the cover letter and it does say that a money has been included for my time.
The survey is a result of having put myself on the waiting list for health insurance lottery but after filling it out I feel I am too healthy to ask for insurance,when there are so many people in actual need. Not only that, by the time my random name gets picked I'll be employed again and won't need it anyway.
I checked out the website.It does say those people put on the waiting list in 08. I was employed then and did not put myself on any waiting list until I had an ear infection 4 months ago.
