President Barack Obama's pollster said the healthcare bill will win over public support once it becomes law despite polls showing Americans against the plan. [...]
"When it comes to health care and insurance, once reform passes, the tangible benefits Americans will realize will trump the fear-mongering rhetoric opponents are stoking today," Benenson wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Saturday. [...]
At the very least, the numbers show a public more wary than not of the healthcare bill. But the surveys indeed have something for everybody.
"Despite polls showing Americans against the plan." But, again, they're not against what is in the plan, once the details are explained to them. And a strong majority is for a public option, too, but you sure don't hear that story bandied about.
Fear mongering is an easy, effective tool the Rushpublics know how to use all too well. It will be nice to see something as beneficial as health care reform counter the despicable tactics that are used, and overused, by the opposition.
