Americans are sharply divided over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and related legislation, which are being used as a wedge in this fall’s elections.

you right, I'm one of those who are against this health care thing.
Health care should be treated as a right not something for the lucky. It should be treated as a government service. I can't tell you how many times someone comes into our office after being laid off and then does not qualify because of a pre-existing condition. These are people in there 50's who are to young for medicare but to old to qualify for regular health insurance. This only causes disruption in our society and undue burden on ordinary working Americans. This gap must be solved or we will end up with millions of uninsured citizens and the burden will grow worse.
