Does this healthcare stuff confuse you?  Welcome to the club.

It is not just the details. They must confuse even the guys who write them. It is the fact that Congress and the President keep pushing ahead with their reforms.

That confuses me for the simplest of reasons. From 52 to 54 percent of people say they do not like the proposals. Only 42 percent or so like them.

Call me a dunce, but when only 42 percent like what you are pushing and 54 percent do not, you maybe ought to stop pushing.

Instead the pols retreat to their closed-door session and tweak the proposals this way and that. As if a nip here and tuck there will change the minds of a lot of people.

We have had the President hopscotch around the country to “town hall” the bejeepers out of this plan. And 52 to 54 percent of the people say “no.”

He hits every TV show but Sex In The City. He hands out white coats to docs he invites to the White House. To make the point visually that some docs like his reform ideas. And 52 to 54 percent of the people say “no” to his prescription.

He and Nancy and Harry lash out at health insurers. And at docs who do not like the plan. And at drug companies. Lately they attacked the Chamber of Commerce. And still, 52 to 54 percent of the people say “no.”
