What Obama's original plan proposed by the way, isn't even universal healthcare.
It's to set up a "public option" for insurance to run as an alternative to private health insurance. So you would be able to have insurance at a lower, government rate, and they wouldn't drop you for cost control reasons like private insurers do.
They have done several polls on this, and this kind of plan is supported by generally around 70-80% of the public.
However, that plan, was deemed "not feasible" by a Democrat controlled House and Senate! Well, mainly by the Senate, where Max Baucus, the guy in charge of reform, is raking in $1,500/ day from the health care industry.
And this is what they call "Marxism."
