This from a new CBS/New York Times poll is stunning:

The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector.

The national telephone survey, which was conducted from June 12 to 16, found that 72 percent of those questioned supported a government-administered insurance plan — something like Medicare for those under 65 — that would compete for customers with private insurers. Twenty percent said they were opposed.

So why in the hell are Democrats waffling on the issue of single payer? They have the momentum of a nation (a sick nation) behind them. But the fact that we have an auction instead of a democracy is killing the idea. The big donors of the health care industry are forcing the Democrats to abandon the idea.

Keep this up Democrats and your new found power will be shortly lived. You will see a 2012 that mimics 2008, except this time it will be copious amounts of registered Democrats changing their affiliation to Independent or deciding to stay at home on Election Day. If that happens we can forget ever seeing healthcare reform in our nation.
