Another reason not to use reconciliation.


Part of the reason that the democrats should be cautious on moving health care with reconciliation can be found in this picture - a vast majority of the American people disagree with the proposal. Here are the major polls on health care - none even approach positive status much less a consensus.

Nine Polls on Health Care (Support/Oppose)
Rasmussen: 41/56
Newsweek: 40/49
Public Policy Polling: 39/50
Pew: 38/50
Quinnipiac: 35/54
Ipsos/McClatchy: 37/51
NBC/WSJ: 31/46
CNN: 38/58
NPR: 39/55
