"Every cridible poll that I know of shows that the majority of the American people do not want the bill currently being considered by the Democrats to become law."

That is NOT what the polls have shown. That is a distortion of what the polls have shown for months. The majority of American people wanted the versions of the bill that they started with...before the Republicans demanded it be gutted, and when it WAS gutted, they refused to vote for what they got!
Sure, the polls show that the majority are unhappy with the state of the current bill....but that is NOT the same as saying they "...do not want the bill...to become law." Polls are interesting. They can ask the question in such a way as to make ANY answer agree with certain viewpoints. Really "credible" polls reflect the underlying truth of what people are thinking, not what 'sound byte' they are promoting.
