47. Basic health care for Americans is NOT considered a leftist issue

How it is funded and the unwillingness to compromise is what makes it a leftist position. The large majority of Americans are for health care reform, but they are NOT for a public option, which gives no option, or single payer. Yet. It will come in time, but right now the average American does not want govt running things and the higher taxes that come with it. IF they did, we would have it.

Like it or not, not all Democrats support a public option and "daring" us to show our face is just another example of why some consider this a leftist issue.
