What the People want....

There have been a lot people running around talking about how the democrats over played their hand on health care reform. Ezra Klein at the Washington Post posted and interesting chart on various previous of the health care law.

Massive parts are the bill are wildly popular, when the public is informed of them. While the ways of paying for them are not.

This shouldn't be surprising, paying for anything is never popular. But here is the chart:


Now democrats have done a lousy job of informing the public on what is in the bill, but then that isn't surprising either. Republican messaging is easier on this. Health Care is massively complicated so especially susceptible to demagoguery.
