OBAMACARE CONTINUES TO FLOUNDER...
While the Democrats apparently hoped that as time went by, Obamacare would kind of grow on people, with more coming to see it as a useful benefit, it hasn't quite turned out that way. Oh, make no mistake it has grown on people, but it's more like a severe case of athlete’s foot. So still, three years after was literally shoved down our throats, only 37 percent of Americans think Obamacare is a "good idea." And the gap between supporters and skeptics of Barry's signature healthcare program has reached yet another new high. Or so a recent poll has found.
So, at least according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC survey of 1,000 adults, 49 percent say Obamacare is a "bad idea," with 43 percent actually saying that they "strongly" hold that view. The 12-point gap in how Obamacare is viewed is the largest since the hilariously titled Affordable Care Act was signed into law back in March 2010. The poll, conducted from May 30 to June 2, also found that a much larger percentage of people surveyed think they will be worse off than better off under the new plan by a margin of 38 percent to 19 percent.
And apparently skepticism continues to run pretty high even among those who, or so it's claimed, stand to gain the most. We're told that would be those people who are uninsured and those who buy their own insurance. For those who purchase coverage for themselves, the new law establishes government-sponsored state insurance exchanges to help bring down healthcare costs. But just four months before enrollment begins, 48 percent of respondents eligible for the program believe they will be worse off, compared with 13 percent who say they will be better off.
And among those who currently lack coverage, more indicate they will be worse off than better off by a margin of 29 percent to 22 percent. Still, supporters of Obamacare have convinced themselves that perceptions will begin to shift once the program gets underway. Ron Pollack, head of stupid little group called, Families USA, an advocacy group that backs the new law, told The Wall Street Journal "People are going to find that this is helpful to them, and that is going to transform the survey data in the future." He added, "We are going to have a totally different conversation."
Well just like Nancy said, we needed to first pass what was this seizure of our healthcare in order to find out what was in it. And it may have taken three years but people are now finding out what's in it, and a growing number of people don't like what they see. And, granted, like this dope Pollack says, some people may, in the end, come around to supporting this thing, but I don't think it'll be all that many. Oh, I suppose, many in the parasite class will, but it's those people who most likely make up that 13 percent who claim that they will be better off under this monstrosity.
