Here's an NYT article that emphasizes the role of public opinion in policymaking:
"Mr. Reid’s latest thinking seemed to reflect a calculated gamble that the 60 members of his caucus could be persuaded to vote for the public plan, if it included some mechanism for states to opt out.
His outlook was shaped, in part, by opinion polls showing public support for a government insurance plan, which would compete with private insurers."
