The American people seem to be getting it. They don't want
Congress to pass anything just to pass something.
Explains Rasmussen Reports:
Thirty-five percent (35%) of American voters say passage of the
bill currently working its way through Congress would be better
than not passing any health care reform legislation this year.
However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey
finds that most voters (54%) say no health care reform passed
by Congress this year would be the better option.
This does not mean that most voters are opposed to health care
reform. But it does highlight the level of concern about the
specific proposals that Congressional Democrats have approved
in a series of Committees. To this point, there has been no
Republican support for the legislative effort although the
Senate Finance Committee is still attempting to seek a
bi-partisan solution.
We need real health care reform, not a federal takeover of health
care.
