Most Americans like their healthcare.

They know there are some without, but they are reasonably happy with theirs.

What they are not happy about is the economy, the rising jobless rate, the rising foreclosure rate.

What they are not happy about is Wall street walking away happy after they bailed Wall street out.

They also are very unhappy about rising deficits.

HCR for independents is quickly becoming Washington fiddling while Rome burns. HCR being the top priority is turning away the independent vote. Using extraordinary means to ram through a bad bill will be suicide for November.

It might be different without this huge recession, but the recession has changed priorities for the center of America. Those priorities were evident in this and other recent elections IMO.
