Note to Rep. Mike Ross, who decides most issues by putting a finger to the wind: New polling says a solid majority opposes an end to funding of the health care reform legislation, as he and Republicans favor. Though most aren’t happy about the legislation, that apparently doesn’t translate to a) support for repeal or b) support to starve it financially. In other words, people are willing to see it put to work, particularly as word spreads about many benefits in the law.
