Message to Republicans: Leave the health care reform alone

Poll: Majority of Americans Say Health Care Law Should Stand or be Expanded
Fifty-one percent of registered voters say that Congress should let the new health care reform law continue as is or change it so that it does more, according to a McClatchy/Marist Institute poll conducted Nov. 11-15. Thirty-three percent want to repeal it completely, 11 percent want it changed so that it is less sweeping and 5 percent are undecided.



Among those who support the legislation, 16 percent are in the "let it stand" camp while 35 percent believe it should be changed to do more.

Sure, it's "only" 51 percent but hey, that's a majority, folks.

To repeat, our health care system is broken.  It needs fixing.  It needed this fix.  It needs more.  Not more government, per se, but more fairness, equality and affordability.

So we have plenty of problems, Republicans.  Go find and fix those, the big ones.  Cut spending of the Department of Defense.  That's one of the biggest spenders in the government but leave the Health Care Reform Act alone.

Not that it will happen but we can hope.
