I was thinking more of public perception and how many americans are averse to change.
Yes, you are are correct, an aversion to change is normally true. But in this particular case, I believe a majority of Americans wanted the public option. A majority WANTED CHANGE. Apparently Americans were no longer satisfied with paying high premiums and then getting their medical needs turned down by the insurance companies (death panels). Also, the millions of Americans without health care who believe that living in the world's richest nation should have access to a medical system as least as good/accessable as some third world countries, like Cuba.
Unfortunately, Obama made back-door deals with the pharmaceutical and insurance companies. Obama served the 1%'s best interests, not the 99%'s. Ponies WERE gifted.

Well, it seems to matter to Obama's masters, the insurance companies.
