Healthcare

Healthcare Reform Remains Popular

Following that awful body scanner poll, this has slightly revived my opinion of the American public.

A majority of Americans want the Congress to keep the new health care law or actually expand it, despite Republican claims that they have a mandate from the people to kill it, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

The post-election survey showed that 51 percent of registered voters want to keep the law or change it to do more, while 44 percent want to change it to do less or repeal it altogether.

Naturally, if you ask any Republican or media lapdog, they'll tell you that healthcare reform is a Marxist government takeover and no one likes it. Shock horror -- people like it and want to strengthen it.
