HCR? who the hell are they polling?
I spent over 8 hrs. yesterday with DH at the new Heart Institute of WVU Med Center.
Now, granted it is West Virginia and we are talkin' huge population of un/underinsured...but all the talk was about the new health care plan.
Folks were complaining about how long it is taking for the vote, no one and I mean no one said they are against it.
Where do they get these polling numbers anyway?
My guess, they only call bigtime GOP contributors.

1. I saw a CNN segment yesterday in which they noted a poll that showed the majority....
.... want the president and congress to press forward with health reform.
The hacks on CNN reported the results almost grudgingly.

THE CALL CENTER PRIMITIVE

3. If you're in a place where people are very needy when it comes to healthcare (like this heart center), you're going to find an audience that's slanted one way on the issue, if you go to a place where people seem content, you'll find another take on the issue.
What you did like going to a strange town, walking into a building that happens to be a church, and concluding that most of the people in that town are religious. If you had walked into the tavern on the other end of town, you'd conclude that most people are drinkers.

4. What I'm hearing is that people are "disappointed" with the bill because it isn't moving forward.
I think a majority of people are "disappointed" because it isn't being aborted.

5. Most people I know are at a pass it point... but more still realize we are gettig jipped.. When the issue first arose, most people who don't pay close attention assumed they were creating a "medicare for all" approach. People are tired of the ins co's. Even for routine stuff, it requires a ton of headaches that people like myself just put off.
Racist; notice the primitive used a derogatory word describing Romany people.

I think she means the Robert C. Byrd Heart Institute, which just moved into a new facility about a mile from the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center. The people of West Virginia thank you for paying for it.
