New poll out today shows that 76% percent of US public want Public health care. I will give some one the link to the study if they want it, I didn't want to site another news agency on this page. Which begs the question. Why is there so much support of a public option in the public and so little support for it in the media and in congress?

it's money that matters. healthcare is a money-making industry. if you can't pay, you can't get good help. if insurance and money wasn't an issue (like in every other civilized western country) then race wouldn't be an issue.
