Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) says “Americans don’t want more government in health care”–which is true if you define ‘Americans’ as the 28-or-so percent of the population who don’t want more government in health care.

Perhaps the Americans who don’t want more government involvement in health care are the very same Americans who fled forced unionization in Pennsylvania and sought refuge in the South. On the policy question of government involvement in health care, there are a number of problems with DeMint’s statement. But the public seems to have caught on to them.
