http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy ^

WASHINGTON — Americans are divided over how they want health care fixed and whom they trust most to do it, refusing to forge a consensus for or against President Barack Obama as he and Congress march toward a historic overhaul.

A new McClatchy-Ipsos poll released Wednesday found people torn over several key questions that are likely to dominate debate in Congress in coming weeks, including:

— How a federal government insurance plan would affect their own health care and their pocketbooks.

— Whether the government should stress cost controls or expanded insurance coverage.

— Whom they trust most to expand coverage.

To be perfectly honest I wouldn’t trust Obama or this Congress if they told me the sun would rise tomorrow.

... as Obama's approval sinks

Maybe that's what they were talking about on CBS Early Show when they said Obama has a wicked sinker.

How a federal government insurance plan would affect their own health care and their pocketbooks

Its simple really...
Health care: Quality would go down.
Pocketbooks: Quantity would go down.

Think health care is expensive now, wait until its free.

i am sure that they are divided...th 47% that make up the minorities, welfare receipents, food stamp grabbers...etc etc that voted for him are surely standing in line with their hands out....the other 53% are shaking their heads wondering when the insanity is going to stop....

I think what was found on page 16 should be enough to “sink” this bill.

Private insurance companies will not be allowed to sell new policies after the bill is signed into law.

Did these fascists think they’d just slip this through?
Besides that, 0bama’s out there flat out lying about it.

If several polls indicate that 77% of Americans like their healthplan, why are they split??

I smell BS.

LoL! No, I’m not. I’ve been told I can have a way with words, but I can’t take credit for that one. Don’t remember where I heard it...

Another good one I read in relation to socialized health care is: Socialized health care... the efficiency of the post office and the compassion of the IRS.
