Half the survey was conducted before the Senate voted late Saturday to begin debate on its version of the legislation. Support for the plan was slightly lower in the half of the survey conducted after the Senate vote.
Prior to this, support for the plan had never fallen below 41%. Last week, support for the plan was at 47%. Two weeks ago, the effort was supported by 45% of voters.

With only fourteen days before the Christmas recess and unemployment rising, how long will the voting public remain patient while the Senate debates a new entitlement most don't want and does nothing to solve unemployment? |

Doesn't matter anymore what any taxpayers think. The government knows what's best for us.
Best government money can buy.

Its because he weakened the public option.

Including a government-run insurance option — the most controversial part of the debate — is supported by a nearly two-to-one margin, 61%-34%. The public option registers a majority level of support despite the fact that by 47%-40% Americans said they oppose the president’s health care plan overall.

More a case of what the founders thought was best, and they certainly thought it best to erect a lot of barriers against the excesses of popular passion as those might come to be manipulated by a bunch of self-serving demagogues... |

Like those Senate Democrats? I don't think it's fair to paint them all with that broad brush.
Actually, I was referring to the level of buyers' remorse currently being experienced by Americans of all stripes -- and all forms of currency: blood, treasure, y la mordita... |

A lot of people want reform but they don't like the plan the majority of Democrats seem to be touting.
A lot of people want single-payer.
A lot of people want stronger regulations such as how much insurance companies can raise your premiums in a year, a limit on out of pocket costs, lower prescription drug prices, etc.
This is the best reform the health insurance industry and Big Pharma can buy.

I'd rather have no reform than the "reform" most Democrats are pushing. |

This "reform" IS an absolute JOKE and will inevitibly mean.....bye bye for a LOT of Dems. next year.....whether it passes or not! 
And IF...it passes.......it would ONLY be because it's being rammed down our throats just like the Dems WANT and without a care for us....or their own political careers. |
