Therein lies the problem. Politicians are elected by the people to represent the people. Somewhere along the line, they decide that the petty backbiting and sniping is more important than doing what their constituents want them to do.
Of course this comes from the top in DC. We have a President who feels that he's so smart that he can decide what the people of America need and want. Apparently the polls that were so relevant back when people wanted "change" are useless now that people are saying they aren't in favor of the HC plan that's being thrust upon them.
For the record, I'm not opposed to HC reform. I'd just like be able to make my own decisions on what's best for my family and not be forced to pay for something I don't agree with.
