American Voters Still Don't Want The Democratic Parties Obamacare

Support for repeal of the new national health care plan has jumped to its highest level ever. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of U.S. voters now favor repeal of the plan passed by congressional Democrats and signed into law by President Obama in March.
Prior to today, weekly polling had shown support for repeal ranging from 54% to 58%.
Currently, just 32% oppose repeal.
The new findings include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal of the health care bill and 25% who Strongly Oppose it.
While opposition to the bill has remained as consistent since its passage as it was beforehand, this marks the first time that support for repeal has climbed into the 60s. It will be interesting to see whether this marks a brief bounce or indicates a trend of growing opposition.
Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters now believe the health care plan will be good for the country, down six points from a week ago and the lowest level of confidence in the plan to date. Fifty-five percent (55%) say it will be bad for the nation. Only three percent (3%) think it will have no impact.
The Political Class continues to be a strong supporter of the plan, however. While 67% of Mainstream voters believe the plan will be bad for America, 77% of the Political Class disagree and think it be good for the country. As Obama's approval rating drops below 42%,another all time low, we need to realize that Obama has made one too many mistakes and Americans aren't too happy with him. He talked a good game to get elected but now all he is doing is running up the national debt and hurting our country. If all those Americans would have stood by the TEA Party rallies maybe we wouldn't have this abortion of a Democratic party health care bill. These people have lied to us to get elected and to get their pork laden bills passed. But they will pay for what they did to us and our country.

We Told Ya So. Ya Should Have Read The Bill

obamacaresAsociated Press: [...] Economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department concluded in a report issued Thursday that the health care remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million to the coverage rolls.
But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, since Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, the report warned.[…]
In particular, concerns about Medicare could become a major political liability in the midterm elections. The report projected that Medicare cuts could drive about 15 percent of hospitals and other institutional providers into the red, "possibly jeopardizing access" to care for seniors.[…]
The report acknowledged that some of the cost-control measures in the bill — Medicare cuts, a tax on high-cost insurance and a commission to seek ongoing Medicare savings — could help reduce the rate of cost increases beyond 2020. But it held out little hope for progress in the first decade.
"During 2010-2019, however, these effects would be outweighed by the increased costs associated with the expansions of health insurance coverage," wrote Richard S. Foster, Medicare's chief actuary. "Also, the longer-term viability of the Medicare ... reductions is doubtful." Foster's office is responsible for long-range costs estimates.[…]
In addition to flagging provider cuts as potentially unsustainable, the report projected that reductions in payments to private Medicare Advantage plans would trigger an exodus from the popular alternative. Enrollment would plummet by about 50 percent. Seniors leaving the private plans would still have health insurance under traditional Medicare, but many might face higher out-of-pocket costs.
In another flashing yellow light, the report warned that a new voluntary long-term care insurance program created under the law faces "a very serious risk" of insolvency.                                                                      We told you so. Now we have a health care/student loan takeover bill into effect that doesn't control or cut costs like they said it would. This is the kind of stupid crap we get when the Democrats put their heads together and cost us our future. Where are the JOBS stupid??? That goes for Obama and Congress. Since Obama and the Democratic Socialist party took over nothing has worked the way they said it would. And yet the Republicans and Conservatives have called it right every time. Heck Obama is following Bush to the T with Gitmo,the wars,spending+++,partisanship and the way the world views us. But the Democrat's have been having fun borrowing our future away on some of the dumbest things imaginable. I can't tell you if they are doing it all wrong on purpose(Clowerd-Piven) or is Obama and the Democratic Congress that stupid? I'd love to know what you all think about these new facts coming to light about obamacare?

They Should Have Read Their Own Bill:Obamacare Sucks

Via Just One Minute (indeed…) comes your feel-good story of the day: Congressional Democrats have managed to thoroughly muck up Congress’ own health care coverage, particularly for new hires. Both staffers and legislators:
The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.
The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,” the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.
Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.

I would take it as a personal favor if the GOP Senate were to send over a polite note indicating that they intend to filibuster any attempts to fix this. The average salary of a Congressional aide is over twice the federal poverty level for a family of four: let new hires buy their own darn health insurance policies. Not that they have a choice, thanks to the individual mandate…BWAAAAAAHAAAHAHHHHA they should have read the bill.
