Video: Myths hurting public opinion on health care

The following url is a video discussing how myths (some say perpetuated by the media) have dominated the discussion of health care reform. Polls have found that people do not understand policies within the health care reform bills and more importantly, have influenced how people perceive the reform (whether they support it or not). Emily and I thought that this was a great video on the complexities of public opinion, both in measurement and in attitude formation. Take a look when you get a chance and start thinking about how this relates to this weeks readings.
