Pres Obama must show leadership on passing HCR, Dems have not sold the bill to public with vigor, as many benefits are contentious and always feared backlash.
Erza's populist suggestion looks viable alternative
Medicare 50+ and Medicaid at 200% poverty level
. Will add to deficit, but this is washington, real change is slow.
(* Other polls AP, ABC, Faux etc are higher 50% + taken around Mid Jan )
Mass elections also show a sample of general public opinion on a post HCR enacted period, the state that has close to universal healthcare donot have happy citizens.
