A Look At The Bill Congress Passed

So I was taking a look at PollingReport.com to see some data on health care just to keep myself updated on the topic of health care and it reminded me again of how close this debate is. I think that this is something that makes the topic interesting is the fact that people are so split on the topic. It is not something everyone is for or everyone is against. Also, for my Public Opinion class we are designing a questionnaire so I was looking at different types of questions to ask and I really liked this question:

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. Sept. 21-23, 2010. N=1,010 adults nationwide. 
Margin of error ± 3.
"Thinking about the health care bill that Congress passed earlier this year,which of the 
following statements best describes your view of what Congress 
should do in the future? 
Congress should leave the bill as it is. 
Congress should make additional changes to increase
the government's involvement in the nation's health care system. 
Congress should repeal most of the major provisions in that bill
and replace them with a completely different set of proposals."
Options rotated3/10: "Thinking about the health care bill that Congress passed this week. . . ."






It has a lot of options involving the bill that Congress passed and what people think should be done about the bill. The majority of people said that Congress should repeal most of the major provisions in the bill and replace them. This shows that although people do want changes to health care some are not happy with the changes that are being make. What are your thoughts on this bill??
