SCOTUS and health care reform

Anticipation is running at a fever pitch, knowing that the Supreme Court's decision on Obama's Affordable Health Care Act is due any day now.

Both sides are planning what to do if it's upheld (Republicans) or if it's declared unconstitutional (Democrats).

What do the people want?   An AP/Gfk poll shows that, if SCOTUS strikes it down, 77% of Americans want the president and Congress to starting working on a new bill right away.   Only 19% prefer what we have now.

Of course, that doesn't mean 77% support the Obama bill.   Many Republicans want some sort of reform, but not his plan.

We should not get complacent with these numbers.
