The Democrats are already facing the possibility of losing one of the two houses in Congress come November elections. The Public does not want this Healthcare bill. Passing it is at the peril of those in power currently.

We haven't truly had politicians represent us in decades. They're all tied up in special interests. Whether it be Corporatins, Lobbyists, Unions, Foreign Interests, etc.
