Most Americans want Congress to start over on healthcare

Rather than starting over and taking it a step at a time, the President and the Democratic leaders in Congress are intent on ramming through their unpopular comprehensive healthcare reform.

From The Hill:

In a brutal assessment of the Democratically authored healthcare reform bills pending in Congress and the party's approach to healthcare, more than half of the respondents to a new Zogby International-University of Texas Health Science Center poll said that lawmakers should start from scratch.

Of the more than 2,500 people surveyed from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 57 percent agreed with a statement that Congress should start over — which is exactly what Republicans are demanding and what President Barack Obama insists he will not do.
