Was the election of Scott Brown...

...in Massachusetts last Tuesday a referendum on health care reform? The Senate's bill is very similar to the one enacted (with Brown's support) in the Bay State in 2006.

A poll taken in Massachusetts after the election by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health found that a surprising 68 percent of those who had voted said that they supported their own state’s plan, including slightly more than half of those who had voted for Mr. Brown.
