Re: "Public opinion is against the bill because of its obscene costs in higher taxes, burdensome debt, anti-freedom mandates, rationing and reduced care for seniors." AND because at least half the opposition is from people who wanted a STRONGER bill, not the weak shadow that finally emerged from the Senate. Gallup shows a consistent (and rising... poll-after-poll) 59% of Americans supported the idea of expanding Medicare (one of the ideas that was removed from the bill), and solid majorities in poll after poll have also expressed their support for the idea that there should be a public option offered in the new insurance exchanges yet another popular idea that was dropped from the bill), just as around 50% or so of folks also support free trade in pharmaceuticals.... So, it looks like a good bit of the 'opposition' is from people who want a STRONGER BILL, and a good bit of it is from people who want a WEAKER BILL... but those two different camps don't see eye-to-eye at all.... Like most compromises, partisans at EITHER EXTREME are unsatisfied....
