55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Bill - Rasmussen Reports

March 25 2010


Just before the House of Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.



The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.

In terms of Election 2010, 52% say they’d vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent (41%) would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.

Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal while most Democrats are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% favor repeal, and 35% are against it.

Most senior citizens (59%) also favor repeal. Earlier, voters over 65 had been more opposed to the health care plan than younger adults. Seniors use the health care system more than anyone else
 
Oh well. The American Electorate seems to change its mind more often then Michael Jackson did on which race he wanted to be. We'll see come November, and then 2012.
 
Only 55% and that coming from the rights favourite polling institute (for the most part)? Tsk, they could have padded the numbers better if you ask me.

In a week or two the numbers will be very different, and in a month or two even more different.. and I dont expect it to go up, but down.
 
Of course people don't like this bill, there is no public option and it requires people to buy health insurance from corporate America. SOME of this bill I like though... But our government could have written a much better bill.

I definitely agree. It's certainly not even close to what it should have been, but it's at least a start and has some very good parts. Sen Franken yesterday at our District 6 convention and said as much, but it moves it forward. AND it makes the radical righties heads explode. Two VERY good things.

What planet are you from? Oh wait the UK. that explains it.......Rasmussen has continually been the most accurate polling agency there is....You really need to keep up......

I wonder how they like their socialist Medicare. :lol:
 
The question is, will that number grow, will the salience rise, and will repeal become an inexorable political dynamic?

It will if I can help it. :cool:
 
Not sure but I pay premiums for me and my wife everry month for my Medicare.......At this point that is not socialist medicare.........

I pay for medicare that I don't receive.

...

So Obama's healthcare bill is socialist, but Medicare is not!?

NP, sorry man, I've pointed this out before but I have to do it again. You do not know what that word means.

Hell you school me and you did not even know about the 500 billion in cuts in medicare..

Its not socialist now but it will be for anyone who does not have to pay for it under Obama Socialist health care.......

On the contrary, why people do not like this Bill is because they fail to follow what will inevitably happen come 2014.
There is no Insurance company in the entire world that will permit a Policy to be sold without controlling the eventual costs.

Ie: A family buys an Insurance Policy with a $2,000,000 maximum lifetime care on it.
Someone within that family has a catastrophic illness/accident, where the health costs rise above the $2,000,000 mark.
The Insurance company says sorry and refers back to the Policy which is a contract.

Under Obama's plan the above will no longer be permitted, further no one can be denied an Insurance Policy.

What Obama will have, in effect done is a Government takeover of the Healthcare Insurance Industry (as the Government will be the only body that can underwrite unlimited costs).
Thus under the Bill that has just been passed the 'Public Option' is included.
However, I doubt very much that most people will understand that.
What they will see are the various 'goodies' within the Bill, and the Democrats under their chief Obama will incessantly publicize these from now until November.
Unfortunately the majority of the electorate see the 'goodies' but are too stupid to realize that even candy comes at a price.

I was certainly aware of the 500 billion in "cuts," although calling them that is disingenuous. You must be confusing me with someone else.

Your definition of socialism seems to be "people getting something they didn't pay for." That isn't correct.
