Really??
The poll I quoted was unambiguous. It states plainly that 58% of Americans want the law repealed. 62% of people that now have insurance want it repealed, while only 47% of those without insurance oppose repeal.
I'll admit that you didn't cherry pick from the poll I posted, but you completely ignored it and brought in completely different one as if that proved anything.
And you have the nerve to even type the word dishonest ?????
Again, you skip the rebuttal, ignore the reasoning, and don't dig deeper. You prove my point, repeatedly. Many of those who want repeal want it because the reform doesn't go far enough. This is important. Ignoring that is being biased.
Once again, YOU prove my point. Show me where in the poll I quoted that people want more government health care than is in this law.

Ignoring that, as you are, is bias.
LOL!
and ignoring all the disinformation and fear mongering put out by the likes of the ny times, boston globe, wapo, cnn, the hill, the HHS WEBSITE, the CBO HOMEPAGE, etc, would be what?
Sounds more your bias to me.
You have to realize that Boo doesn't really care about anything other than his opinion and ideology. Costs don't matter, quality doesn't matter, just access is all that matters to him. All the rich can fund those millions added, right?
You didn't. That's the point. What you quote, maybe even your poll, limits the answer and does not go further. Which is why seeking one that asks appropriate follow up questions is a better poll. The fact is that many of those who want repeal want more and not less in the reform. Ignoring that, as you are, is bias.
He just ignores whatever anyone posts and goes off on his own tangent.
Sounds more your bias to me. news is not meant to affrim your belief system. That would be bias. :coffeepap
Where do think the rest went? Think it has anything to do with prices going up? With premius going up?
True, a single payer system would do a more effective job, which is why so many think he did not go far enough. But the things you complain of were happening before any reform. Going backward won't fix the problem. Instead we need to move foreward toward real reform.
See the polls above. You may be reading things through the prism of your own bias. :coffeepap
Single payer will not do what you say. When the government runs it, it will be inefficient and full of fraud. Look at medicare and medicaid.
There is also a lot of waste and theft in the private health insurance system. Hospitals pad their bills for services never rendered, and there is no way the insurance companies can investigate or stop this level of fraud. One remedy the insurance companies do have, though, is to raise rates. Lots more cost to all of us due to theft.
That is your take on the polls
Health Care Law - Rasmussen Reports™
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 58% of Likely U.S. Voters at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law while 36% are opposed.
These figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 27% who Strongly Oppose it. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This is the 54th weekly survey tracking support for repeal of the health care law. Support for repeal has ranged from a low of 50% to a high of 63%. In 53 out of the 54 weeks, support for repeal has topped opposition by double digits. Consistently, Democrats have strongly opposed repeal while Republicans overwhelmingly favor it. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 55% favor repeal and 36% are opposed.
No it has to do with hospitals over charging because they know the insurance will not pay that. If you had no insurance they would still lower it but probably not as much
Again, you're not paying attention. repeating things not in dispute is pointless on your part. Try addressing the actual argument. Many of those wanting repeal want it BECAUSE the bill doesn't go far enough. They want more, not less.
If you don't have insurance, odds are you didn't pay at all. This means the cost is shifted to those with insurance and those who pay. Meanign we all pay for those who can't pay right now, before any reform, and in an ad hock, way with no real oversight.
You mean like we'll do under ObamaKare??
For the 5th time, show where in the Rasmussen poll results (you know, the one we are talking about....) that you are correct.
You can't.
You mean show a question they didn't ask? You do realize that is a silly standard. I have shown a few polls proving my point. :coffeepap
