"SNIP................................


Polls consistently show that Americans aren’t happy with Obamacare. They think the law will make health care more expensive, and decrease its quality. But a new survey of 1,976 registered voters finds that only 33 percent believe that the health law should be repealed, delayed, or defunded. 29 percent believe that “Congress should make changes to improve the law,” 26 percent believe that “Congress should let the law take effect” and see what happens, and 12 percent believe that the law should be expanded. The bottom line? Voters are skeptical that Obamacare will live up to Democrats’ hype. But they also believe that it should be given a chance to succeed.

The new poll was conducted by the Morning Consult, a healthcare media company founded by Michael Ramlet. Ramlet, in evaluating the results of his survey, finds that voters are “unmoved by three months of the defund argument,” and that a majority would “blame congressional Republicans a lot for a government shutdown.”

Only 26% of Americans want Obamacare to go into effect; Obama's legacy as worst POTUS ever cemented for all time!

thanks applegrove. A lot of those who do want it repealed or whatever could use it the most.. especically if they want their brain back and get Affordable Health Care as a bonus.

the gazillionaire repubs don't want it(lookin' at you Kochs) because it helps promote Democracy as opposed to their preferred fascism.
