(Exempt) Democrats not celebrating health care milestone ('still is a loser')

Democrats not celebrating health care milestone

Considering the size and scope of the massive health care reform measure that Democrats pushed through Congress last year in defiance of all political odds, their celebration of the law's first anniversary Wednesday was remarkably subdued.

That's because congressional Democrats are still smarting from the voter backlash that followed passage of the bill and that played a role in their loss of the House majority in last November's elections.

Democrats on Wednesday were confronted with fresh evidence that the public, one year on, still largely opposes the new law and that that opposition could further damage Democrats politically.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Wednesday showed just 37 percent of Americans support the health care changes, while 59 percent oppose it. A similar poll conducted last year, just before the House passed it and sent it to President Obama for his signature, showed 39 percent supported the measure.

"The bill remains unpopular," said veteran Democratic strategist Doug Schoen. "Was and still is a loser for Democrats. The voters have spoken, clearly and unequivocally."

There was little fanfare among Democrats on Wednesday to mark the anniversary. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who just returned from an official trip to Italy, did not make a public appearance to talk about the law, although she held a news conference last week to mark the anniversary and tout its benefits and put out a news release Tuesday. She also put out numerous Twitter messages on the law's benefits.

Maybe that should be “millstone?” Couldn’t happen to a better group (snicker).

Like that line BuckyKat!

Here's some little-known, but long-standing, information on the governemnt controled healthcare system:

Obamacare continues the scheme of taking money from those who pay for insurance and funneling it to lawmakers and their families. Lots and lots of money funneling will flow to politicians and their buddies (those lucky enough to have politically protected CAT/MRI scanning centers and labs doing blood work) through inflated reimbursements.

Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.

The foreign occupier and his horde are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.

Listen to the following 6 short informative audio files on why politicians will never reform healthcare. Info you probably never knew anything about.

Look up 'Certificate of Need' (CON) on Google, or as I call it: A 'Certificate of Monopoly.'

"I don't think you can really go by the polls," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. She added that the people who are now benefiting from the law are the ones whose opinion really matters, not those who were "happy with their health care coverage" to begin with, because "things don't really affect them one way or the other."

When assessing the costs and benefits of a theft, the people benefiting from it - the thieves - are the ones who's opinion matters. Asking the victims, who were happy with possession of their own money to begin with, will never get you anywhere.
