If you think that anyone could actually "organize" the political opposition to nationaL HC, I think you greatly overestimate the abilities of the organizers. Could it be, that inspite of some opportunists wanting to disrupt the HC reform, that the majority of Americans simply do not want it in the form it is being offered? Is that possible?
Your post shows how well the oposition to healthcare reform can organize, and brainwash people.

Majority in U.S. Favors Healthcare Reform This Year

Controlling costs a higher priority than expanding coverage

by Jeffrey M. Jones


PRINCETON, NJ -- As U.S. House leaders unveil a plan to reform the U.S. healthcare system, a USA Today/Gallup poll finds 56% of Americans in favor and 33% opposed to Congress' passing major healthcare reform legislation this year. Support for healthcare reform before the end of the year is sharply split along party lines, with 79% of Democrats in favor, compared with only 23% of Republicans.
