Well, if the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll of 1000 registered voters is anywhere near accurate, it would seem that we still have a rather sizeable majority of those Americans who remain less than thrilled with the socalled Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. It’s according to this poll that those who favor Obamacare are significantly outnumbered by those who think it's simply a very bad idea. And with that being the case it continues to irritate me to no end that we have heard less and less from the Republicans in the way of their having a desire to repeal it as we grow nearer to the midterm elections
The September poll has 34 percent in favor versus 48 percent opposed to the 2010 law, with most respondents saying they feel strongly about their sentiments. Eighty-two percent of Republicans oppose the law versus only 37 percent of Democrats who are against it. Independents oppose the law by a 51 to 26 percent margin, again according to this poll. And people say recent news coverage about Obamacare, good or bad, hasn't swayed their view of the law. Not even the news that the Department of Health and Human Services recently revealed that a hacker had broken into the HealthCare.gov site earlier in the summer.
But apparently, at least according to the Journal, the public's negative view of Barry's signature healthcare plan has held pretty steady through the last two election cycles, with 46 percent against in 2010 and 44 percent opposed in 2012. The only good news for Barry is that among Latino voters there is now a majority who actually like the law. Well of course! Our rapidly growing parasite class in this country is in favor of anything, and everything, that they themselves don’t have to pay for. The more that they can get and at someone else’s expense the happier they are! Hence the reason the vote for Democrats.
And something that, quite frankly, I just don’t understand is the fact that, by a 39 to 31 percent margin, voters are somehow able to say that Democrats are best at addressing healthcare, though this lead is noticeably lower compared to the pre-Obamacare years, at least according to the Journal. But then what exactly am I to take away from that? Are there really that many Americans who are actually in favor of having the government dictate to them how it is that they will be able to obtain their healthcare? Because that’s certainly what the Democrats are in favor of! That’s simply insane!
A Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Tuesday offers basically identical survey results. That poll, though, showed that voters across the political spectrum thought the economy was a more important issue than healthcare, which tied with foreign policy for second place. Now keep in mind here this particular ‘Foundation’, like most others, while it claims to be a "non-partisan source of facts and analysis for policymakers, the media, the health care community, and the general public, tends to lean pretty far to the left. So whatever information it provides should always be questioned.
As someone who was made to lose the insurance that he liked and was quite happy with, despite being told by our Liar-in-Chief that I’d be able to keep it, I am one of those who is very much ready for Obamacare to be completely gotten rid of. Thanks to Barry, after the recent surgery and hospital stay by a family member, instead of having everything paid for, I’ve now been left with a rather sizeable bill which will only be applied to my now rather substantial deductible. So as you may be able to guess I’m among those who continue to oppose this government acquisition of our healthcare system in this country.
