In re the majority not wanting it, the wording of how this is asked causes huge swings in support/ not support numbers. While it is my opinion that the majority of the country wants reform of the health care system, the proof will be in the pudding sometime in the next few years. The midterms will be too soon to gauge the actual effectiveness of the legislation (though it will gauge the flash public reaction to it). Once Obama comes up for re-election there should be enough time for the mechanics of it to be put in place and for the efficacy of the bill to be judged. If people vote Obama out in 12 one might have a case that the majority didn’t want this, though there would have to be other reasons for his defeat as well. I happen to believe that the greatest disaster would have been doing nothing both in practical and political terms.

Cobble, do whatever you damn well please! But if no one invites you to the Debutante Ball at the synagogue this Spring, don’t say I didn’t try to warn you, Eliza Doolittle!
Nothing like ignoring the reality of the bill, or the CBO report, eh legion? I very much understand the bill- but considering the source of your information, I can’t give much credence to you calling the bill a lie. The whole Sarah Palin my baby would have been killed by death panel thing really nailed it for me.
and I didn’t say he would ruin the country, I said he will lead the dems to ruin.
arkady,
and we are not civil now? LBJ’s legacy is really questionable, in fact that was what the 1994 revolt was about, repealing his entitlement society. In fact, his entitlements are largely responsible for the problems facing much of society today.
Do you seriously believe that this massive new entitlement will not cost money in the end?
medicare is set to go bankrupt in 2017 and social security in 2035.
I’m not being ideological here, just practical.
If we cannot pay for it, we cannot pay for it.
Is anyone here watching what is going on in Greece?
American credit ratings are set to go down by the way, others are watching.
ENY, if one really wants a ring, Yanks is the team to be. paid super well and one knows the franchise will do and spend whatever it takes to win it all every year. I dont fault the dude for resigning but I doubt he believes he is signing to a true contending team – ie would believe it if Twins in NL vs. the super competitive AL

It’s scary alright. I watch it from time to time just to see what they are saying. [With one hand on the widget to change channels ASAP!]
