81 percent report knowing that health reform legislation has been signed into law by President Obama.

But more than half (56 percent) say they don’t yet have enough information to understand how it will impact them personally and 55 percent are confused about the law.

We are 100% screwed.

[screaminsunshine]

The other 45% have no brin with which to get confused.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

There’s a vacuum there. Instead of complaining, let’s get in there, tell people, and fill that vacuum.

[nina0113]

And that’s just Congress.

[pb929]

It’s pretty sad that 19% don’t even know the bill was signed into law. Are they living under a rock?

[Emile]

As Pelosi said, now that it’s passed, they can find out what’s in it. I hope they’re all appalled at what they find out.

[truthkeeper]

Pathetic.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I thought Buttcrack and his goons were going to continue to “explain” the health care plan? What ever happened to that???

"But more than half (56 percent) say they don’t yet have enough information to understand how it will impact them personally and 55 percent are confused about the law."

What a coincidence - 100% of the people who wrote, passed and signed the bill into law have no freakin' clue how it will impact those people either.

[gthog61]

At least the 55% who are confused know it. The other 45% are really confused because they don’t even know enough to know they are confused.

[Oldpuppymax]

Where’d they take this poll....the senate or the house?

“The other 45% are really confused”

Right: the 45% who “know” what ain’t so are as much in need of education as the 55% who freely concede they are confused. In reality, if you polled Congress and assured them the results would be anonymous, I bet 90% would admit being confused about that monstrosity that many voted on at the insistence of their leader rather than actually reading the bill and concluding it made any sense. There would not have been nearly as many “surprises” revealed over the past few weeks if more members had done their homework.
