55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Bill

Why do you think Scott Brown won in Mass.........

Let me give you a clue. It had a little something to do with the fact that they love the health insurance program that Romney brought to them...which hmmmmm is similar to this one in many ways.:doh

Not good news for Obama socialist health care......


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 Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.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

Did it occur to anyone that many of those who favor repeal, particularly among independents and Democrats, feel that the health care legislation did not go far enough? A lot of people don't like the idea of being required to buy private health insurance without so much as a public option. I don't think it's fair to assume that everyone who opposes the legislation is in the Republican and tea partyer crowd.

Wait, what? Romneycare was extremely similar to the recent bill. How was he "against" it?

Did you follow Brown's election at all? His vote would have been the 41st vote against Obama care ........The dems needed 60 to beat a filibuster and would have only had 59..........He was against Obama Care.......

You know I grow bored with you.........You never do you homework on any issue so I think I will move on........When you comment on and issue make sure you know a little what your talking about......Have a nice day my liberal friend............

Whoops, we're talking about the wrong dude. I mix up the east coasters a lot.

Brown did in fact vote against Obamacare. Which still passed, by the way.

You've been watching waaaaaaay too much Fox News. Why don't you actually learn the facts for once? :doh

So are you saying Scott Brown was not against the health care bill, and did not make his opposition to it a very big part of his campaign?

Like I said, you are watching way too much FauxNews. You should learn the facts rather than rely on propoganda. Its pretty easy....just Google the Massachusetts exit polls. They aren't too difficult to read.
 
What if you don't have a car?

Then you don't run the risk of wreaking into anyone, which is why you won't be forced to buy insurance. However, with health care, you run that risk by being alive. unlike a car, there is nothing you can not do that saves you from being a burden on all of us if you get ill or injured. The same premise applies to both, with different mechanics. Those who are uninsured and get hurt or ill too often pass the expense on to others, much like the uninsured motorist did. The two situations and law actually compare quite well.

You just make yourself look more like a fool when you keep this up......Evryone know the he ran on a platform against Obama Socialist Health Care except you.........I don't have to google anything to know that......

If they get hurt then they will pay for then own medical bills.......Its as simple as that.......This isn't the USSR...

I don't think that you know a fraction of what you THINK you do.

If you actually watched or read some real news, you would know that the exit polls from a variety of sources said that healthcare have very little to do with the Massachusetts election. (GASP)...of course, FauxNews and the right-wing don't want people to know that so they keep perpetuating the myths.
The reality is, Massachusetts is happy with their healthcare system which is remarkably similar to what was in the Congressional bill.
(But you continue to conveniently overlook that.....) :doh

They haven't been, hence the problem. Right now, today, before reform, you, me, all of us are paying for them.

No ticky no picky........Under Obama care if you turn it down then you should pay for your own

For one thing, there were no exit polls. Everyone thought it would be such a blowout for Coakley, they decided not to set any up.

There are, however, polls of people who voted.

A Final Look at Massachusetts Election Night Poll - Rasmussen Reports

· Among those who Strongly Oppose the plan, 98% voted for Brown.

· Coakley also picked up 90% of those who Somewhat Favor the plan while Brown was supported by 78% of those who Somewhat Oppose it.

· One key to Brown’s victory is that 41% Strongly Opposed the plan while just 25% Strongly Favored it.

Please, if you're going to make an argument, don't just assume that anyone who takes the other view (which in this case is a widely accepted view, accurate or not) is an ignorant Fox-viewer or something. Everyone knew that Scott Brown would vote against the health care bill. Everyone knew that this was a big issue in the campaign. Yet he still got voted in.

DD is hiding again...I thought everyone knew that Brown was running against Obama's socialist Health Program......
 
because rasmussen polls voters.

But this poll isn't about elections, is it? So actually, it's not as accurate as a measure of the entire public's opinion about repeal, because it excludes non-voters, who also have opinions about it. If this were a poll about who is likely to win an election, then polling only voters would make sense.

There were a lot of exit polls.

And even from your own Link - Rassmussen (which Navy Pride calls a "biased pollster that only polls liberals)....

56% of Massachusetts voters named health care as the most important issue. That suggests it was a big issue, but Democrat Martha Coakley actually won among those voters by a 53% to 46% margin.

So to say that the Obama heath care reform was the referendum here is pretty much dispelled by your own post. :doh

But there's the thing- the results are mixed, and could mean several things. So to say that someone who thinks that they mean one thing is ignorant and blind for thinking it is dishonest. Also, people can think that health care was an important issue without thinking that it was the most important issue.
 
And if they don't, without health care reform, YOU pay. You pay before Obama and congress do anything. Right now.

yeah. except that the uninsured use the emergency room about as much as the insured do. the cost of the uninsured getting medical care and then not paying for it costs the average family something like $200 a year. and instead we're going to replace this 200 bucks a year with a multi-thousand dollar subsidy.


only a democrat could honestly argue that we will reduce costs by increasing spending.
