Latest Poll Shows Vast Majority of Americans Agree With Boehner – Want Obamacare Repealed

Obviously, the democrat’s health care bill is still extremely unpopular.

56% of Americans want Obamacare repealed and only 39% want to keep the law in place according to a FOX News poll released today.
FOX News reported:

As the battle over the Obama administration’s health care law is joined in Congress, most American voters are on the side of the measure’s opponents, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.

When asked to imagine being a lawmaker in Washington and having to vote on whether to keep the new law or repeal it, 56 percent of voters say they would vote to repeal and 39 percent to keep the law in place. Representatives in the U.S. House took that vote Wednesday and voted 245-189 to repeal the law (or 56 percent to 44 percent).

A majority of Democrats would vote to keep the health care law (67 percent), while over half of independents (56 percent) and almost all Republicans (87 percent) would repeal it.

Few voters see an upside to the new law. Some 18 percent of voters think their family would be better off under the health care law. Compare that to 14 percent who thought the law would help their family a year ago (January 2010), and a high of 22 percent who thought so in September 2009.

Twice as many — 36 percent — think their family will be worse off under the law.

    With plans to let in 50,000,000 more latinos and pay for their medical and welfare payments we should be recovering economically by 2100 AD — long after we all have died. Thanks leftist retards haters and thuggists.

    The Demoncraps have a winning campaign philosophy, just spend and hand out free stuff, and claim the other party hates you — that’s is a winning format.

    To keep youth vote, Democrats should repeal Obamacare

    Forcing young people to buy expensive health insurance (and subsidize the old and sick) isn’t good for the Democrats, and it isn’t good for young people.

    The liberal/socialist/commie propaganda from this administration isn’t working anymore. That’s why they got shellacked in November. The American people have awakened. The Liar Czars in the msm are freaking out! Hahahahahaha!

    So true, Chippy. Evolution moves forwards, not backwards. The “liberal/socialist/commie propaganda” might have worked before, but the public is becoming ever more educated and free thinking and the internet has supplanted the media propaganda machine. Leave it to a leftist to be in the dark about the onward march of Truth. Watching for this evolution of consciousness might feel like watching a plant grow to some of us, but it can’t be stopped and won’t be until the last liberal trying to fight off the Truth is shattered by it, as we have avoided by cooperating with it.

    Look at the NHS in the UK. That’s Obamacare in 20 years. Or even just 10 years.

    Personally, I’d rather go to a vet than to a hospital run by the NHS.

    Ultimately the system will lead to what’s happening in Austria. Those, who can afford it, will flock to private insurance, because with the nationalized stuff, you’re pretty much screwed. Not sure how the Brits are handling private insurance, but if you have to rely solely on the NHS, and you have a severe condition, you can jump off Tower Bridge right away. The waiting lists for treatments of severe conditions (like different forms of cancer) over there are horrible.

    What I would like to know in this new statistic is, how many of the 56%, respectively 39% work and pay taxes. That would be interesting. Because I can’t shake the feeling that the vast majority of those against Obamacare work and pay taxes, while the vast majority of those for Obamacare wouldn’t be caught dead looking for a job.

    Pretty much like it is here.

    The crowd that thinks others should hand everything to them at no expense just keeps getting bigger by the day. Eventually, they will rule and ruin our lovely land. It’s all about the borders and clawing the Democrats/Progressives from power.

    I believe the cost is now over $2 trillion for Obama care. The numbers were cooked up from thin air as we believed.
