Ronald Brownstein parses some polls and suggests the following: That white, working-class Americans have a general unfavorable view towards "Obamacare" because the G.O.P. Machine (including Fox News and Rush) has convinced them — wrongly — that it won't do a thing for them, personally.
I hope that's not so. I mean, my Business Manager did a pretty thorough look at what it would do for his clients' insurance costs and needs, and it will help me a little, personally…plus there are the advantages in helping the economy and reducing clogs in emergency rooms and such. But even if it was of no benefit to me, I'd be all for it if it just helped those around me who don't have insurance or can't afford what they have. I'd hate to think that's a growing sentiment in this country; that if it helps save others' lives but not yours, it shouldn't be done.
