The Left has been conducting polls like this year after year, that find strong support for universal coverage. Indeed, the survey instruments are often written in such a way as to solicit the desired response.

Many of those expressing a desire to expand the government’s role in health care likely believe it can be paid for with other people’s money. I suspect their opinions would be different if they were asked to contribute.

“Only 26 percent of likely voters in Massachusetts believe health care reform has been a success and just 21 percent believe reform has made health care more affordable, according to newly released poll results.

The Rasmussen Reports poll of 500 likely Massachusetts voters, taken in April, also found only 10 percent said the quality of health care is getting better under the reform law rules here.”

Poor President Obama has to try and sell this boring and unpopular Massachusetts plan to the rest of the 49 states. Senator Kennedy is too sick to help con America into his dream Socialized Medicine scam. Obama should ask Mitt Romney for help.

The Republicans need to learn to “triangulate”. Preferably with principle, not by accepting some of the other side’s bad proposals, but rather by postponing components of their own proposals that happen to be controversial.
