Oh I'll agree that there wasn't exactly much (or ANY) public support of the insurance mandate. But there was, for example, quite a bit of support for covering kids to age 26 (since it became impossible to have health insurance for your kids when they were in college since they couldn't get a job with insurance benefits during that time)
In fact, I'm willing to bet that, had the public option stuck, there would be far more support than what came out afterwards.
Instead, we get a mandate for a giveaway to the very "profits over people" companies.
