Yet, according to a Gallup poll released last week, only 47 percent of Democrats said that they had a good understanding of the issues involved in the current health care debate. Fifty-eight percent of the Republicans polled said that they understood. Furthermore, a Pew Research Center poll released on Thursday found that Democrats were the least likely to say that they were following the debate over health care reform “very closely.” Only 42 percent of Democrats said that they were, compared with 45 percent of the independents and 56 percent of the Republicans polled. This is nonsense. Ds don't understand the issues. Take this thread for example. Not one of you comprehends that we have the best health care system in existence. Not one. Not one of you understands that the any of the proposed reforms removes profits from the system which will permanently and irretrievably detract from R&D and the ability of medicine to solve future problems. Not one of you understands that you can't cut costs without mitigating the practice of defensive medicine. In short, the Ds have no idea, at all, about what the problems are or what to do about them, and that's why THE PROGRAMS THEY CREATED HAS TURNED INTO AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK.
