but no one believes that the govt can A-do it better than private, and B-save money.
A - The government isn't replacing private health care, they are regulating it. There is no single payer, although that does have some support.

BTW, I believe in and strongly support single payer at this point. So yes, there are quite a few that believe the government can do it better. Medicare and Medicaid is a godsend to millions.

The worse people in the world to be in charge of healthcare are those that don't have any financial interest in paying for healthcare to sick people, who only make money by not paying for healthcare for people - and that would be private insurance companies. That is why we are in such an awful state for healthcare in this country.

and on the other we have the CBO already saying that obama's current budget plan has our deficit growing by leaps and bounds.
B - The CBO has said that the House plan would save billions over 10 years, cut tons from our deficit. Are you talking about the Senate bill unamended?

someone could have changed these numbers of doubters even a little, but that hasn't happened.
It has, and I just posted stories regarding polls that show it has.

I agree, people don't approve of Congress.
