>We will have healthcare reform. 66% of Americans want it and the current administration is pushing it strongly. It may not be before January, but it will happen. the first attempt may not be ideal either, but it will happen regardless of the stuff you see on tv and read.

I'm referring to 'reform' to the current system, not specifically government provided or run healthcare. Actually some polls show it higher and some lower, but the average is 66% across the polls. I can't find that link now, but below are some. I also heard it a couple of times on the news (CNN, Fox, and CBS Sunday Morning).

Americans continue to think the health care system needs an overhaul.
Eight in 10 say major reform -- at a minimum -- is in order. Forty-nine percent think the system needs fundamental changes, and another 33 percent think there are so many things wrong with the U.S. health care system that it needs to be completely rebuilt.

Most in U.S. Want Healthcare Reform, but Vary on Urgency

more Americans said it would be better to pass "major reform" to health care (55%) rather than "minor adjustments" (43%).

and:
Sixty-three percent said they would support providing health-care coverage for all Americans, even if the government had to subsidize those who could not afford it. Fifty-six percent said they supported a "public health insurance option" to compete with private plans. Fifty-seven percent support raising taxes on those with annual incomes over $280,000 to pay for the plan. Eighty percent said they would support a bill that required insurance companies to offer coverage to anyone who applies, even those with pre-existing medical conditions. By contrast, a slight plurality of 48% opposed requiring all but the smallest businesses to provide health care, and 56% of Americans opposed taxing employer-provided health care to pay for the cost of covering the nation's uninsured.
