Poll Shows Eroding Support for Health Reform – BusinessWeek
February 14th, 2010 | 
Author: In what is probably the least surprising news of the day, Business Week reports that Americans are not that fond of the health care reform that is being pushed by the President and Congress. Well, duh!
The problem is that the people that have put the legislation forward are some of the most egotistical people on the planet. They think their sh#@ don’t stink as they say and will probably push the legislation forward because they probably won’t admit that they were wrong. Worse than that, I have seen political research that says it is worse for a politician to change their mind than it is to do the wrong thing because waffling (changing your mind frequently) is attacked more in the press than just doing something stupid.
I hope there is reform of some sort. The medical industry (drug companies, hospitals, insurance companies, etc.) all need to be addressed. It is ridiculous that these companies are getting rich while the rest of the country suffurs. I just hope we can do the right thing, but am fearful something stupid will happen.
Click the link at the bottom if you need more confirmation that the current health care reform is not what most people want.
While half of Americans want some kind of health reform in the next two years, nearly 40 percent say it would be a good thing if the legislation proposed by the Democrats and President Barack Obama never materializes. And one-quarter aren’t sure if health reform would be good or bad for the country, a new Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll finds.
"Essentially what they’re saying is we want reform but we don’t trust or like what we’re seeing now," said Humphrey Taylor, chairman of The Harris Poll, a service of Harris Interactive.
