It turns out a majority of people are not supportive of the President's efforts to reform health care. Let us think about why this may be true.
We are told that something like 47 million people are uninsured. We are not told that about 9 million of those have plenty of money but choose not to purchase insurance. A substantial portion of the balance are illegal immigrants who try hard to stay out of the clutches of the system. The actual number of uninsured boils down to about 15 million which is maybe 5% of the population.
If you ask most Americans how they feel about their own health care/health insurance they respond that they are happy with it. In other words, most people don't have a health care problem. On the other hand, if the government mucks up the system, we will all have to pay for the mess they create. So...not much support for change we can(not) believe in.
