Americans want reform in health care and health care insurance. They DO NOT want an overhaul, especially the kind envisioned by our current president and Congress. But never let the will of the people stop you when you have hope and change to spread among the non-elite masses, right?

Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas hits the nail on the head with his biting critique of the Democrats' rebuffed efforts to steamroll Obamacare right up and over the American people.

An excerpt:
Mrs. Sebelius and members of Congress are fanning out across the country, trying to defend a health care reform plan that is only partially written, unexplainable and still unread by many representatives and senators.
