People are also sadly misinformed a lot. The general populace is basing their opinions on public health care on a lot of false information - and also their desire to "not pay for someone else." They may be in the majority, but the majority shouldn't always rule. Our government is actually, though you may not notice at first, set up to make sure that doesn't always happen. What the majority wants is important, but sometimes they are wrong.

For example...people supporting the Iraq war. That is another case where they were misinformed - just like other people have already pointed out.
