"Most doctors do support health care reform, Sawzaw"

This indicates that I implied most doctors do NOT support health care reform. Where did I say that?

The problem is you interpret not supporting the health care reform bill as not supporting health care reform.

Then you cite a article that says "Survey respondents were asked to indicate which of three options for expanding health insurance coverage they would most strongly support:"

Jack states: "The article talks about a lot of things that COULD NOT logically be extrapolated from those three questions." It extrapolates and therefore illogically implies the conclusions. The conclusions are in an article about the actual study.

"The New England Journal article DOES NOT say those were the only three questions." No it does not, does that prove they did ask more? Look at the study itself and not at the article about the study.

You claim I am "reading what is not there to make a self serving position"

Jack and CC are reading what is not there to make a self serving position.

Again: "the Republicans" are not against Health care reform. They are against things that are in the health care reform bill.

Again: Most people are for health care reform. They are against things that are in the health care reform bill.

You two and Obama conflate this into meaning anyone who opposes the health care reform bill opposes health care reform.

It is a false Dichotomy to say a vote against the bill is a vote against health care reform.

GWB used the same false dichotomy to support the war in Iraq when he said "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists".

Maybe after 75 or so posts you will discover that I am not against health care reform but that I am opposed to parts of the health care reform bill.

Maybe you will discover that I am not claiming doctors are against health care reform. I am only claiming some doctors are against parts of the health care bill.

Maybe you will discover that anybody that opposes the health care reform bill is not against health care reform.
