A
CBS News poll released Wednesday finds that nearly two in
three Americans want Republicans in Congress to continue to challenge
parts of the health care reform bill.
The Senate
version of the legislation was passed by the House Sunday night, and
President Obama signed it into law on Tuesday. The House also passed a
separate reconciliation bill, which cannot be filibustered, that is now
being debated in the Senate. That bill would make changes to the bill
already signed into law.
Senate Republicans are now
challenging whether the bill is truly a budget reconciliation bill
(which is what makes it filibuster-proof) and inserting amendments
designed to slow down passage. Republican attorneys general are also
planning to challenge the constitutionality of the law.
The
poll finds that 62 percent want Congressional Republicans to keep
challenging the bill, while 33 percent say they should not do so.
Nearly nine in ten Republicans and two in three independents want the
GOP to keep challenging. Even 41 percent of Democrats support continued
challenges.
