that people on the right will hate it. Period. More moderate voters would likely be more willing to accept it if there were a public option. Forcing people to buy private insurance without some sort of public option is a huge (IMO) mistake and will dog the Dems in November. The WH is advertising this bill as providing health care to 30 million people. When the public learns that's BS and all they are being provided with is a mandate to buy private insurance from a bunch of crooks three years from now, I think more than a few people are going to feel like they've been had.
