From yesterday's kff health policy report, reporting on a washington post-abcnews poll of 1000 americans about health care and the new administration:

Seventy-seven percent of adults believe that Obama should make major reforms to the health care system, compared with 20% who said he should not, the poll found. Of those supporting major reforms, 51% of adults believe that Obama should seek them immediately after he takes office, and 26% believe that he should wait until later in his presidency, according to the poll. Sixty-eight percent of adults believe that Obama will have the ability to make major reforms to the health care system, compared with 28% who believe that he will not have the ability, the poll found.

Lots of shoulds and wills here. What stands out is that the desire for status quo is being filed in the big red file named "trash". let's see if that desire transforms into something greater.
