Most polls have shown that a majority of the people in the country are opposed to this reform. Passing the bill when the majority of people do not want it is just bad government and it makes me a bit sick to my stomach.
(first I am making a statement that it isn't easy to poll health care, health care is much too abstract of a question to be able to put in a simple yes/no poll...it is too complicated)
My question is, were you sick to your stomach when Bush said he wasn't going to listen to polls, he is instead going to do with what he believes was right? Polls don't matter, doing good governance matters and according to Bush America elected him for a reason, and once elected it was his job to lead and be decider in chief even though the polls were against him.
So were you sick to your stomach then? I wasn't, I actually agree with Bush in this matter...I just disagree with him on some issues and fervently believe he wasn't a good "steward"/"governor"
No posts on the bill passing?

As long as you define "most" as "some time" you're just fine with it as it stands *NM*

You should worry about cost control (AKA the only real reason for healthcare reform to begin. )
