Could you supply a link or something to those polls you cite as indicating "the majority of Americans want health care reform " ?
There are surely aspects that need revision but a general sweeping statement like you made is something I would have to have validated !
If so, will accept but from my personal perspective...not sure that is an accurate statement !
PS: This from the Washington Post in mid December....
"A bare majority of Americans still believe government action is needed to control runaway health-care costs and expand coverage to the roughly 46 million people without insurance. But after a year of exhortation by President Obama and Democratic leaders and a high-octane national debate, there is minimal public enthusiasm for the kind of comprehensive changes in health care now under consideration. There are also signs the political fight has hurt the president's general standing with the public. "
