Al... the effects of this nonsense havent even kicked in yet and your posting polls ?

Give it till December.


Why not? The bill hadn't even passed and the opposition was been quoting them ad nauseatum as long as they were favorable to their message....
This is the second poll showing a positive trend for support...as time passes we'll see if the trend continues or not. But polls work both ways...

You really believe this is going to save money ?

Are you asking me if we can cover 30M additional people for nothing? The answer is no. Are you asking me if the per capita cost of HC will decline? I don't know...time will tell. Are you asking me if this is how I would cover America? The answer is again NO...i would favor a public option. But conservatives (note I didn't say Republicans) made clear that they would not support this. I think with time the bill's effects will be understood and the means refined. In a way the gradual implementation is likely to help along these lines. I suggest that the right start following David Frum's advice and become a voice for positive change rather than blind opposition on ideological grounds.
