Health Care: The closer the Democratic Congress' radical health package gets to enactment, the less popular it becomes. The American people smell a rat.

'It's not going to be a perfect bill, but it's going to be a very important starting point," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., said on CNN over the weekend after 60 senators voted to open debate on radically transforming the U.S. health care system. That fact is what is increasingly spooking the American people, as well it should, is: Where will this massively expensive "starting point" lead us?

The Democrats' health care revolution, which right now looks like it will include a government-run option that could cripple the health insurance industry, is sinking in approval. The newest Rasmussen poll finds public support down to 38% — falling for the first time below 41%. Of the 56% who now oppose the plan, 43% are "strongly opposed." Among senior citizens, 60% are against it.
