Obviously, the people who don't like it at all got really energized to vote in this election, and the people who do like it don't seem to feel so strongly, perhaps because many of the benefits won't kick in for a while. There's a lot one could say on this subject, but you seem to prefer expressing the same single idea over and over again instead.

People who have health care they like don't like HC reform. People who don't have HC, or don't have enough, like it. Some employers who think they're going to be able to dump workers on the govt like it.
300 million people.
40 mil w/o HC insurance.
That leaves roughly 260 million people in the US who have insurance.
You're telling me of those 260 million, most like HC reform? That's not true.
The only people who really like it are those who'll be getting something from it. The rest don't need it and so don't like it. The calculation is simple. Why would I like something that could cause my costs to rise? I care about me. Not the guy down the street. Sounds mean, but that's the formula people employ in real, non-chat board life.
You can call me a dick. What you can't call me is the minority.
