If not, the House has already said that no matter what comes out of reconciliation, they will start amending the law to booster it up and provide what's needed. The GOP had said they are running this fall on repealing it. Good luck with that.
Polls do show that people don't like "healthcare reform" - until it is explained what it encompasses (no death panels, no 'government-run' healthcare), then the polls show that acceptance rises alot.

who said start over from scratch? i still think obama should have listened more to rahm emanual, and taken small steps, a change here, a change there-with the end result being a good overall reformation. but no one believes that the govt can A-do it better than private, and B-save money. we have economists on one hand saying a growing deficit will kill our economy, and on the other we have the CBO already saying that obama's current budget plan has our deficit growing by leaps and bounds.
you'd think tho, in the nine months of battling, someone could have changed these numbers of doubters even a little, but that hasn't happened. and people might still approve more of obama, but they don't approve at all of congress, which is why this is all floundering.
