For months now we have been left with the impression by the news media and the Republicans that Americans are in revolt against Obama’s health care legislation.  What’s the evidence?  Polls have shown more Americans currently disapprove than approve of the legislation.  Now we have a poll that finally asks several of the right questions, including whether the law should have done more!

“A new AP poll finds that Americans who think the law should have done more outnumber those who think the government should stay out of health care by 2-to-1.”

Many wish health law went further Many of us have thought that there was something seriously misleading about polls that simply asked whether you favor the President’s health care legislation.  We now have a good idea why.  The Democrats should not run away from health care.  They need to tell the American people that if the Republicans take over, they could lose any chance for getting the health care that the majority of Americans need and want.
