No there isn't - I challenge you to prove your assertion. Most people do not want a "public option". There is a small lunatic fringe of far left wackjobs that want a government take over of heatlhcare via the "public option" or single payer program. The overwhelming majority of people prefer a sane and measured approach. Starting with tort reform, portability of benefits, competition across state lines, and insurance reform. We can do this, and we don't need to spend trillions of dollars and create a new entitlement program.
Numerous polls have been posted in this thread that prove you wrong. Every poll taken, with the exception of one Rassmussen poll from last June, shows that. So unless you can prove your assertion, you fail.
Actually, Obama is the one who FAILED. I am just a private citizen with an opinion and a keyboard. I didn't have a rubber stamp Congress with a filibuster proof majority and a full year to pass my healthcare reform agenda. If I did, I'd have gotten the job done!! Obama had all that, AND he enjoyed incredible 70%+ popularity and plenty of goodwill!!! What did he get done? Nothing. It is one year later we have NADA ZIP ZILCH to show for it. He is a failure. Direct your anger towards him, he is the problem. A real leader would have taken ownership of the agenda and sold the program. There was nothing stopping him except his own failure to lead. Obama is not a leader, he is a candidate. A professional cheerleader that knows next to nothing about being an executive. You cannot blame the Republicans for the failure of Obama.
This isn't about failure nor is it about blame nor is it about Obama. I have no anger. Only a simple question that has yet to be answered. Your anti-Obama rant is a nice deflection though
