Like they say:
"Ya can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time." I would bet however ,when it comes to Obama and Congress 3/5 don't know all that's in, or could fully explain what's in the HC proposals.
As many here know, I have very little faith in the Average American. People that state they don't have time to fully evaluate the issues before voting for president, people that simply vote by party, people that don't even know what exactly they're voting for.
Working very intimately with people from all walks of life for the last 15 years in a significant variety of fields and jobs as taught me one thing: the average person is an idiot.

If you want to contest it, just go for a 10 minute drive, or sit at the RMV for 30 minutes, fly, go to a high-end retail outlet or simply go order some coffee. When it comes to encounters with "the average American", more people are completely out of their minds than not.

Call me a cynic, but work in Emergency Medicine for over 6 years, and you'll see.

If the people drafting the bill, championing for it or petitioning against it are unsure what is actually in the bill, how can your average American know?
