If you democrats are for majority rule, then why not accept the opinion of this majority and leave healthcare alone.

Hey Boss,
You counting on the votes of those 20 million illegals in 2008?

Yes!
Democrats need helpless victims to get elected. If you are NOT a helpless victim the Democrats want to make you one.

if the poll is accurate for the entire population, lets do the math shall we?
39% insured of 300,000,000 = 117 million + 47 million uninsured = 164 million
164 million is more than 50% of 300 million, which makes more than a majority that will claim that things need to be changed.
and no that doesn't include 20 million illegals, considering the number is as of 2005 which is consideribly higher now. Even in 2005 80% of that number included working Americans.
Even if we were to reduce the 47 million by 20 million which is 5 million more than the current illegal immigrant population, you still have 27 million, and the 39% insured plus the 27million will still equal 143 million(using 39% of 296 million) which is only 3 million short of exactly half of the real 296 million US population, while giving you a 5 million bonus!

I don't call 571 people with health insurance a majority concerning health care, when 47 million uninsured plus the 39% disastified will obviously disagree.

This has aboslutely nothing to do with the universal health care issue, other than that is 57% of the people who currently have it that will not participate.
That still does not account for 47 million Americans as of 2005 who doesn't have any.
Apples to oranges like the typical right-wing argument.

No it is proof that you don't have a clue how to gather the proper statistics to support your argument that really isn't a question.
When you find a survey that includes nearly 50 million Americans that have no health coverage, and 57% of them say they are happy with it, then you might have a real point to make.

Nah, first of all you do not intend to make generalizations. the top of my existence isn't good judgment and reason. See, in the top, we basically comprehend plenty. there are a number of gaps in our awareness. yet we DO comprehend some stuff. Now take what we don't comprehend. Is there any reason, any reason in any respect, to fill it with God? God is largely a scapegoat, yet another notice for "we don't comprehend." maximum atheists at the instant are not asserting God is impossible- we additionally do not declare a secret underground wizarding worldwide like that of Harry Potter is impossible. We nevertheless do chortle on the assumption in spite of the shown fact that; there is only no data to signify one in each of those component, and in my suggestions they're the two the two laughable. one component you learn from quantum physics is that precis reasoning does little or no whilst we expect of of extremes. "good judgment" in the organic, mathematical experience is particularly distinctive from "good judgment" in the colloquial experience. in the colloquial experience its in reality the comparable as "subject-unfastened experience" and there is not any subject-unfastened experience at extremes, as subject-unfastened experience comes from our gathered reports. no person has experienced the interplay between quarks or universes, so it does not make "subject-unfastened experience." I advise you place self assurance in arithmetic as a replace.

They might feel differently if they were one of the 47 million Americans without health-care insurance.
