Support For Obamacare at Record Low

Credit: Reason

According to a CNN/ORC International survey released today support for Obamacare is at an all-time low, with only 35 percent of those asked saying that they support the law. Almost all of the new opposition comes from women. 

From CNN:

Washington (CNN) – Support for the country's new health care law has dropped to a record low, according to a new national poll.

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday also indicates that most Americans predict that the Affordable Care Act will actually result in higher prices for their own medical care.

...ORC International survey...

One does not simply provide healthcare to Mordor.

[UnCivilServant]

To be fair, we only got one side of the story there, and saw little of the infrastructure behind the black gates. They could have had excellent healthcare for the minions of sauron.

[R C Dean]

They could have had excellent healthcare for the minions of sauron.

Complete with hellish websites and death panels, I have no doubt.

[Swiss Servator, Pikes Forward!]

*Applause*

[Eduard van Haalen]

Ungrateful wenches...you give them freee birth control and they bitch and moan about other aspects of theObamacare. There's just no pleasing some women, am I right, guys?

[wareagle]

well, just wait till all those Obama debates at the family Christmas gathering. That will surely change the tide. Either that or result in future Christmas functions having fewer attendees.

[The Late P Brooks]

I would like to point out once more, I *had* insurance; now I don't, thanks to the moron in the White House, and his little helpers.

[Auric Demonocles]

But you didn't like it.

[Kaptious Kristen]

Now, sweetie face, you know our insurance wasn't good enough, you fluffy-headed sillykins! Just listen to the Big Man and all will be well. Shhhhh....hush....shhhhh....

[Kaptious Kristen]

*your

[Bardas Phocas]

There's waiver for that.
Not for you, but the knowedge that the regime's cronies are receiving a waiver should make up for the lack of health insurance.

[2ndClassProle]

You must have had a junk plan.

[John]

But doesn't some smug Prog telling you that your old insurance wasn't "real insurance" make it all better? Don't you trust your betters Brooks?

Or does hearing that make you want to buy a high powered rifle and climb a tower, preferably near Congress?

[goneGalt]

Obligatory:

You must not have liked it.

[Rufus J. Fisk]

But Chucky Schumer told me it is very very popular!!!

[UnCivilServant]

Poor, poor Rufus the less well known. I'd have thought you'd know by now that Chucky is an idiot.

[Swiss Servator, Pikes Forward!]

So has shriek. Consider the sources...

[DEG]

I stopped by CNN.com this morning. I was amused to see this story was front and center.

[andarm16]

I guess even the state worshiping whores at CNN are smart enough to distance themselves from the coming storm

[OldMexican]

Something funny happened on my way to Meet The Press: Charles "Chucky" Shumer imploring his GOP colleagues to drop their partisanship and help the Democrats fix this law.

[Dweebston]

What does he think the GOP is supposed to do at this point?

Oh, right, he doesn't; it's not about fixing the law, it's about distributing blame.

[R C Dean]

What does Chuckie Bitchtits think needs to be done to "fix" this most effulgent and omnibeneficent law, exactly?

Where's your bill, Chuckie? Who are your co-sponsors? Has Harry Reid signed off?

[andarm16]

They aren't the stupid party for no reason.

[VG Zaytsev]

If the GOP had any game they'd play along and pass a series of Fix Obamacare bills that gutted it and let the Senate dems refuse to pass them and Obama threatening vetos.

[Auric Demonocles]

Support for alt-text remains at record highs.

[Swiss Servator, Pikes Forward!]

Always and forever.

[Sevo]

But shame on those obstructionist rethuglicans for wanting to repeal it!

[Mike M.]

CNN: just another bunch of ratfuckers.

[Sevo]

BTW, today is the BIG DAY!
Everybody who doesn't have insurance is supposed to sign up by today, right? Everybody!
Except union members, right handed people, those with two legs, and who else has been exempted?

[2ndClassProle]

Congress, staffers

[NoVAHockey]

I really don't know. And health policy is what I do.

[John]

I am quite tempted to refuse to answer that question on my tax return as an act of civil disobedience. If a large percentage of the population leaves the question blank, how will they ever enforce the mandate?

[R C Dean]

how will they ever enforce the mandate?

With SWAT teams, would be my guess.

[John]

They will SWAT a few million homes? Doubtful.

Seriously, why should anyone answer that question? It is an illegal question I don't give a shit what Justice Penaltax says.

[Killaz]

Justice Penaltax can go suck on the business end of a flamethrower for the consequences of the Constitutional precedent he has created in that decision.

[XM]

Yeah, now the government can make us buy things, even if doesn't concern public safety and such. As long as they call it a tax, I believe?

"Making you buy things for your own good and the community" There was a time when people found this idea revolting.

[AlmightyJB]

Hope you don't have any dogs.

[AlmightyJB]

"support for Obamacare is at an all-time low"

Tough shit plebs. WTF are you going to do about? That's what I thought.

[Acosmist]

vote for the same bunch in 2014 is what they'll do.
