Interesting that the New York Times poll BACKED UP the Robert Woods poll. I don't know, maybe the Times are hard left leaning as well? There is no question you could find other polls with the same results as the Times and the Robert poll.
You simply can't deny that MOST Americans, by far, support some kind of Health Care reform. Unless your swimming in the De-Nile "ocean".
Now Ron makes a valid point:

Well maybe, maybe not, but at least we are doing "something". Another Times poll asked the question (paraphrased here): "Who is better suited to develop Health Care Reform. Republicans or Democrats?" Over whelming response was Democrats. In fact one of FOUR Republicans answered Democrats! You guys like Polls? On the internet you can find plenty of them to support your position, yea or nea.
And yes, the Government can "force" you to buy insurance under the Commerce clause. Now here's the kicker to that clause. IF you can't afford it there are provisions to address that. So it's not a total "force" aspect. It will survive a legal challenge. Don't pay your taxes? Go to jail. CAN'T pay your taxes? The Gov will work something out.
