If you want good television drama don’t watch the usual prime time channels. Instead, just tune into CSPAN for a health care town hall meeting.

If you do, most likely you will find a member of Congress cloaked with security trying to appease hostile crowds worried about President Obama’s health care reform plan.

But President Obama shouldn’t take the screaming and hollering at town hall meetings personally.

The reality is people these days are just angry. Health care is just the platform where that anger is being played out.

People are angry because the economy hasn’t turned around.

They’re angry because their 401K is just a K now.

And then there are those special few who are well… angry all the time.

But behind all the screaming and hollering going on at the town hall meeting lies a deeper issue than just anger.

That issue is people don’t trust the government to solve any problems to include health care.

Consider a recent poll done by Rasmussen Report, a nonpartisan media company that distributes political polling.

According to their latest poll results, 54 percent of Americans say the best option is for Congress not to pass health care reform this year.

However, at the same time 72 percent of likely voters said they see health care as a very important issue that needs to be addressed.

Basically what these people are saying is: “we think health care is important we just don’t want you [The White House and Congress] handling it”.

Why so much distrust? I say consider the history.

Since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, every President and numerous members of Congress have talked about health care reform or attempted it. The most famous of these attempts came under President Clinton.
