They may have done what they thought they

the will of the people.

What "will of the people"?

You keep regurgitating the mantra that Americans "dont want health
care reform"---and that's NOT what the polls indicate, nor is it
accurate to claim thats not one of the things demcrats were
specfically sent to address.

I have said no such thing. I am saying the polls
indicate a majority of the public opposed the
health care bill just passed by the House. Hopefully,
those Representatives who felt it necessary to show
disdain for the will of their constituents will be replaced
at the next election.

Those surveys were too vague to have any meaning. *No one knew what was
in that bill. *They knew what they heard from the mainstream media,
which was (and is) totally distorted and flat-out inaccurate.

When asked about specific provisions, including a public option, the
people are overwhelmingly in favor of the legislation.

What bill had the public option and which poll covered it?

There was no such bill that made anywhere near the final cut - but
when the GP was asked about specific ideas, whether in a written draft
or not, numerous polls since the beginning of this debate showed a
fairly substantial, if not always overwhelming, preference for a
public option. IF you want me too, I believe I can locate the results
of "a few." Say the word.
