Tuesday’s [Senate healthcare] vote came as a new Quinnipiac poll showed that American
voters “mostly disapprove” of the health reform plan by a margin of 53% to 35%. They also disapprove of Obama’s handling of
health care, 56% to 38%.
Voters also break 3 to 1 against using government money to pay for
abortions, by a margin of 72% to 23%. The House and
Senate have different mechanisms to ban federal funding of abortions,
but the issue will be a controversial part of the final negotiations to
merge the bills.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Wow – this is an interesting aspect of the poll:
“While voters oppose the health care plan, they back two options cut from the Senate bill, supporting 56 – 38 percent giving people the option of coverage by a government health insurance plan and backing 64 – 30 percent allowing younger people to buy into Medicare.”
