hey ninja while your at it look up the following: Blue Dog Coalition and legislative ping-pong. The GOP and the "evil corporate boogie monster" have done very little. In fact, most have been supporting the h.c. reform deal, AMA and pharma in particular.

The GOP supports the current Senate HCR bill for the same reason most people oppose it, because of the individual mandate without a reasonable public option.  With the inclusion of a nonprofit public plan, the approval of HCR goes over 60% on average.

In democratic states.  Not on average... also a poll commisioned by leftwing groups.

With fun wording like this in some state

"Which do you think should be a higher priority for congressional Democrats right now – working in a bipartisan way with Republicans in Congress or fighting for policies that will benefit working families, even if those policies can only be passed with Democratic votes?"

May as well ask "Should we oppose republicans in making sure sick people can't be healthy!"

The public option isn't any better.

 

You either need to put in mechanisms to make healthcare cost less... or just socialize the whole damn thing.   Either plan with or without the public option wouldn't do a lick of good and just cost money.
