The Washington Post reported on the significant gulf that exists between those who support the overhaul of the health system and those who oppose it. According to the piece: "Over the past few months, public opinion has solidified, leaving Obama and the Democrats with the political challenge of enacting one of the most ambitious pieces of domestic legislation in decades in the face of a nation split over the wisdom of doing so. In the new poll, 48 percent say they support the proposed changes; 49 percent are opposed." See the entire article here.
Tracking numbers such as these will become even more important as we head into next year's election cycle. The Senate is working feverishly to come up with a plan that will support the President's top domestic priority... but which won't prove too costly politically. And time is of the essence.
