Re-education - Gee, Isn't That Something Stalin Did to Those Who Opposed Him?

“Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn’t,” Sebelius told ABC News Radio in an interview Monday.
Seh said the Obama administration has “a lot of reeducation to do” heading into the midterm congressional elections in November, where polls show pro-abortion Democrats who voted for the ObamaCare bill are projected to lose by a landslide.
Sebelius blamed “misinformation given on a 24/7 basis” by Republicans and conservative and pro-life groups opposed to the pro-abrotion health care measure ismaking it so Americans are opposed to it. She said seniors -- concerned about the rationing in the bill -- “have been a target of a lot of the misinformation."
“Once people understand that [the rebate checks are] just one of the new features for Medicare beneficiaries, they become increasingly more enthusiastic,” Sebelius told ABC News. “They’re worried about what happens to their benefits in the future, worried about what happens to the overall stability of Medicare."
Sebelius' desire to lobby voters comes after a new poll showing a sharp drop in support for the pro-abortion, government-run health care plan in August.
A new Kaiser Health Tracking Poll has support dropping 7 percent to just 43 percent. Opposition rose 10 percentage points to 45 percent --- the weakest showing for ObamaCare since Kaiser's poll in May.
Democrats hoped support for ObamaCare would increase as the elections drew closer and it could tout some of the provisions they believe the public would support. But Drew Altman, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, admits that's not happening.
“Public opinion on health reform has been stuck in a fairly narrow band and is not changing dramatically,” he said.
Forty-two percent of respondents said health care reform will play an “extremely important” role in their mid-term election decisions -- with many Republicans saying so because they intend to vote against members of Congress who voted for the pro-abortion health care plan.
Meanwhile, 70 percent of the Kaiser poll’s respondents said they oppose the “individual mandate” making it so Americans are forced to buy insurance coverage -- which could include abortion coverage.

Now we haven't gotten to that point yet, but just watch & see.
Things works in ever so subtle steps, little by little, every day, until detonation point is reached. History attests that most are oblivious to what is happening (and what will happen) unless something is done to pull the reigns in.
