Public Baffled By Health Care Arguments

I did an 8-3-09 post entitled "Frankly, I don't have a feel for the public's assessment of how to best address covering the nation's estimated 46 million uninsured people."

Today npr reports:

As members of Congress head home for the summer recess, they will use the time to either sell to their constituents the national health care and insurance overhaul being fiercely debated in Washington, or deep-six it.

No matter which side of the issue members come down on, they will find that the people who put them in office remain deeply confused about what the still-being-written overhaul might bring.

And most Americans are equally suspicious of — and confused by — claims being made by both supporters and opponents of President Obama's most ambitious domestic initiative.
