>>On the polls, I stick by the number that 56-60% of registered voters oppose the individual mandate.
And 65-70% oppose the law being starved, delayed or repealed. You can't focus on one and ignore the other.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
