Debate: House Leaders Square Off on Health Care
According to Pollster.com, which compiles poll results on a wide range of topics, more than half of the public now opposes reform, and support is below 43% and falling.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., says the Democrats' plan provides the reforms the public has been calling for -- an end to insurance discrimination, lower premiums, fewer uninsured -- and that the more people learn about the specifics of the plan, the more they like it.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, says the Democrats' plan is too expensive, amounts to a government takeover of the health care system and will lead to millions of lost jobs. He argues that Republicans have a better and more targeted solution.
