Why is this nation so divided over the Healthcare issue?

If the statistics that are quoted reporting that 2/3 majority of Americans want a single payer healthcare system and/or "76% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (85% of democrats, 71% of independents, and 60% republicans). Basically everyone." are accurate, what is the noise all about?

Aren't our members of Congress and Senate listening to these U.S. citizens?

Let's ask President Obama, the Senate finance committee and the Congressional committees to help suspend the debates and public yelling bouts at town halls and deliver a good bill that will provide coverage for all U.S. citizens equally - one that includes you & me and the respectable leaders listed in this paragraph, with NO exceptions, NO exclusive clauses, NO  separate-yet-equal machinations. This will, of course be partly funded by revenues that are already earmarked for coverage for federal government employees.

If we are to be told that this proposal is too simplistic,  let us all ask the legislators and the President to explain the complexity of such a concept and what needs to be done to honestly present all U. S. citizens with an all- inclusive healthcare bill that is clearly written so that everyone is on the same page. This is not a rhetorical suggestion - let's get our Democrat and Republican leaders' answers and maybe we can help them determine what it will take to get a bill that will provide equal coverage for all U.S. citizens.

If any elected official has a problem with this, the solution is democratic.  We don't elect or re-elect an elected official (Democrat or Republican) who will vote special privileges for himself/herself that the people who he/she REPRESENTS don't enjoy. AND we don't allow "bull-speak' from that ilk force us all to retreat from this issue, more importantly.

We are the United States of America, let's continue the fight to guarantee the equality our forefathers fought for and won.
