We voted to repeal Obamacare. Don’t believe these fake news polls.

Thank God for Polling, otherwise Americans might not know what to think anymore.

Wasn’t it “Polling” that told us Hillary was going to win in a Landslide???

Bogus; what pretends to be Healthcare after DeathCare sucks depending on your state and city. Everyone I’ve talked to “hates” it and realizes they’re not getting quality care any longer thanks to Big Bro. Wait times to see your doctor are unreasonable and seeing a specialist is even worse. The physician from some third-world hole, whose accent is difficult to understand, doesn’t know who you are and often times cares minimally. Patients get 10-15 minutes and get to talk about one thing and have to make an appointment if they have questions about anything else. Meanwhile, they ask you personal questions totally unrelated to why you’re there so they can report to Big Brother, e.g., do you own a gun, do you feel threatened? And, they are constantly typing into a computer while they’re talking. Who, in their right mind, wants government involved in their healthcare? These Polls are bogus!!!

All this is thanks to the government interference and the likes of Zero, Pelosi, Reid, et al. Let’s also give credit to the spineless, gutless GOPe who did nothing; absolutely nothing to repeal this crap.

To sum up, the poll that claims we want more government in our healthcare is Liberal crap.

these people who think that government is their friend, will be sadly disappointed, and their children and children’s children will pay for their folly

A root cause of the problem is that decent paying jobs have become rare as the Prog class has successfully pushed their "zero sum game" mindset. In a booming economy, companies compete for workers. In the present economy, workers compete for a scarce number of jobs.

Jobs are made scarcer by loosely goosey rules allowing employers to import indentured servants or even hire illegal aliens with little fear of fines.

Cure that fundamental, get rid of stupid mandates and allow sale of policies nationwide and you will see employers offer better plans as an incentive to attract workers.

It worked during the labor scarcity of World War II. It will work now without a damn war if the zero sum game mentality is changed.

So, how did these pollsters do on predicting Trump’s election?

I ask because my income is below that level and in my opinion the federal government should have no business in health care at all. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

Government workers/politicians/government recipients believe OPM should support them and the lifestyle they are accustomed.

We need ensurance of our insurance, to give us assurance of its issuance.

Well said, and yet I take it further and more definitely I think.

“There is no right way to do the wrong thing” - Me.

The strongest argument against federal interference in healthcare it is illegal because it is unconstitutional. There are also strong moral, economic, and even logistical arguments against it, but the strongest argument is a legal argument - it is flat out unconstitutional. Because unconstitutional federal acts are illegal acts, they are, by definition, acts of tyranny. Therefore by definition, Obamacare and all federal interference with healthcare are acts of tyranny and MUST be nullified, overturned, rejected, and abolished.

Show me where the $1 trillion Dept of HHS is constitutional. It is not. The HHS is by definition a Dept of Tyranny and must be dismantled along with the 70% to 80% unconstitutional portion of the federal government if we are to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.

How? you ask. Impossible! you say. Tell that to the Founders who risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to do the impossible of fighting and defeating the tyranny of England, the greatest military power on earth. But our forefathers, as they declared, had “a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.” It will be God that helps us to win now.

God bless.
