After all, 80% of the American people like their HC.
Providing health care to all Americans is only one facet of the legislation, the bigger problem is the looming entitlement crisis and rising private costs.

Put into proper context then it's not for just 10%...nearly all of us will be on Medicare some day.

That being said, it's clear the current proposals focus more of the former and less on the (more important) latter.
