O'Neil Perspective

Obamacare?

I recently made some observations about evolving attitudes towards healthcare in America.

The short version: public attitudes are

1. complex - not understood by the answers to any single question (like "do you support the recent changes to the healthcare system", or any other single question

2. not well understood by the public (resulting in attitude volatility -- as people get more information, substantial shifts in opinion may occur), and therefore are

3. evolving. As a result, future attitudes on this subject simply cannot be predicted on the basis of any currrent poll. These attitudes are far too fluid.

I discussed these on a recent KTVK-TV segment of "Politics Unplugged". I hope you find the observations interesting:
