I think the upcoming health care debate will have a lot of people surprised at what they thought they were getting. A lot of people who support Obam seem to think they are going to get free insurance, ring wing seems to think it will be gov making decisions about your health.
When in reality there was not a single "mainstream" Dem who proposed single payer in the 08 campaign. You have to go the fringes of the party to find someone even proposing that.
Obama and Hillary had a long debate during the campaign over whether we need to mandate private insurance, or whether it was enough to try to lower costs in the private system. Obama was against the mandate, although it looks like he might change his mind on that.
