Poll: More Than Half of Americans Say Under Obamacare U.S. Health Care System “Will Get Worse”
Nearly four years after the Affordable Care Act became “settled" law, the American public is just beginning to see how its implementation will directly impact their lives. How many individuals, families, and/or retirees have lost their health insurance, lost their doctors, or are now (or will become) uninsured because they can’t keep their current plans and the new plans being offered to them via the exchanges are too expensive? It’s impossible to know. But it’s fair to say that millions of Americans (including those who enthusiastically supported the law) are waking up and realizing that their worst nightmare is becoming reality. The administration is happy to tell you that the website is “fixed” as promised, and therefore all will be well. (Curiously, even the New York Times disputes this talking point). But Americans, it seems, are far more concerned with the merits of the legislation than, say, its website’s functionality.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the health care system is likely to get worse under the new national health care law. That’s up from 52% in October and is more similar to the level of pessimism measured from May through August. Just half as many (28%) expect the health care system to get better, while nine percent (9%) think it will remain about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.).....snip~

More bad news for Team Obama and those Democrats......huh? Plus now Plouffe Obama's own Bestest buddy says Obamacare will work really well in 2017. Democrats are even calling for Obama to start firing some people and take some damn responsibility.
There is no reason whatsoever to allow Obama to have this signature legislation other than as the failure it is. That he can own.....for History too.
We scrap it.
