    It is funny, because I have seen countless polls saying that a great majority of Americans do not want the health care legislation that the house and senate is offering,
    http://www.gallup.com/poll/125030/He...c-Divided.aspx
    Americans' support for U.S. healthcare legislation has crept up incrementally since early November. Now, slightly more Americans want their member of Congress to vote in favor of such legislation rather than against it, 49% vs. 46% -- a first since October.
    I would love to see the maths you did to get -3% to constitute a "great majority".
    They are representatives, and they are supposed to act like it.
    Representatives != Delegates. Edumund Burke established that before the United States even existed.


    EDIT:
    The process was bad. The bill is loaded with problems because it was rushed. As a result, it contains a lot of problems and pork that was put in there to appease particular senators (like the special status for Nebraska). I would welcome the healthcare reform, but it needs to be done right. For example, this humongous healthcare bill needs to be broken up into dozens of mini-bills each of which would target a specific aspect of the healthcare reform. That way the reform will be overall more thought out, will have more support among the people, and possibly even some bipartisan backing.
    It took years to establish the NHS in the UK. Attempting to do something similar in the USA over one year is nigh-impossible.
