The point was that you like to blame the GOP for everything bad that
happens to you but they were the only ones who had NO voice in this
medical legislation you are now criticizing.

uh no. first, the GOP would never have permitted the BEST solution...a
single payer system...to take hold. THEY guarded the insurance
companies under the guise of 'free enterprise'.

The American public rejects single payer in most polls.


2nd the GOP has been ranting about 'rationing'....it's already being
done by their friends the insurance companies

Then why are you shocked in the top note of this thread?



Nope. Wrong again:

http://www.wpasinglepayer.org/PollResults.html



That was collected by "single payer.org"
Do I really have to find the polls that say the opposite?

The real question is still, how do you pay for it?
Are those people willing to accept doubling their income taxes?


Well, either it's an accurate list of polls or not. They seem like pretty
mainstream polls to me.


These people do a poll a week. You can cherry pick any result you
want. Try one where they assess a cost to this public option.

The only numbers re cost are from the CBO, which you don't want to use. They
predict lower costs. I didn't cherry pick anything. I pointed to a site that
lists a bunch of polls, all of which indicated majority and/or significant
support.


Cut the military budget, fix as best as possible fraudulent claims,
increase
taxes for those who can afford it.


You lips to Obama's ear. Every president since Washington has promised
that,


I don't believe Obama has suggested it. Others have, however.
