“Clearly, opposition to the bill is greater than support. But I also want to point out that we’ve asked a different question than a simple approve or disapprove of the bill. Some have asked the question in this way, but we’ve asked whether people are satisfied or unsatisfied with the bill. In some ways, it’s a similar measure, but it is certainly possible to be “somewhat dissatisfied” and yet still approve of the bill. Obama and the Democrats are not going to get many votes from the 46% who are very dissatisfied with the bill, but they still have room to rebuild the coalitions that elected them in 2008.” -John Zogby

“The president and Democratic Congressional leaders should not assume that public acceptance of the bill will be rapid. They will need to be magnanimous in victory, patient in their educational campaign, open to revising the law in a bipartisan way, and sparing in their moralizing and smugness, and not rub the salt in Republican wounds. Even more critical is for Republican leaders to adamantly denounce their own lunatic fringe who are throwing rocks through the doors and windows of Democratic officials. They need to say it over and over again.

“Caregivers often are so busy caring for others that they tend to neglect their own emotional, physical, and spiritual health. The demands on a caregiver can easily seem overwhelming, leading to fatigue and hopelessness—and, ultimately, burnout. Don’t forget about yourself because you’re too busy caring for someone else. Set aside time for yourself, even if it’s just an hour or two. Take pride in your efforts. Being a caregiver is not easy, and those who do it are special.” -WebMD

“Half of Hispanics and more than a quarter of African Americans do not have a regular doctor, compared with only one-fifth of white Americans.

The inevitable consequence is a form of “medical apartheid” and a gap in health outcomes that is growing, not diminishing.”
