Democrats on Health Care

Doesn't it seem like the democrats are extremely self-righteous and self-congratulatory with this whole health-care thing (and every other issue for that matter)? I think if they could look outside their individual bubbles of political negotiations and deals and see what is really going on, they would have to say, "Oh shit - half of Americans don't want this! Something must be wrong!" But no... I think those individuals truly believe that they are somehow superior and therefore should have the ability to make decisions for everyone else. And of course it doesn't help that we have an apathetic populous in a society that often actively avoids reason. At this rate, we're totally screwed.
