I think we are up to now 55 percent of Americans are against it and down in the 30s are actually for it. In fact, a CNN poll--and I'm sure that CNN wouldn't be considered as an extreme right-wing media outlet--shows that--they asked a question a little different way. What should we do with this bill? Seventy-five percent of Americans said either scrap it altogether and forget about it or start over again. And that's exactly where we are. We would like to start over again and pass commonsense reforms without the government takeover of health care.
