PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time in Gallup trends since 2000, a majority of Americans say it is not the federal government's responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Prior to 2009, a majority always felt the government should ensure healthcare coverage for all, though Americans' views have become more divided in recent years. The current results are based on Gallup's annual Health and Healthcare poll, conducted Nov. 15-18 this year. The shift away from the view that the government should ensure healthcare coverage for all began shortly after President Barack Obama's election and has continued the past several years during the discussions and ultimate passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010. Americans are divided on that legislation today -- 48% approve and 45% disapprove -- as they have been over the last several years.

And think, the majority of Americans including me don’t know what Obamacare is in its entirety and don’t know how much it will cost us. Boy oh boy wait til we start finding out that stuff.
This post-election “whoops-what-have-we-done” crap seems to happen every damned time. Once again, Americans did the standard “ready-fire-aim” approach in the voting booth.
Well, America... too friggin’ late.
Remember, we had to pass it to find out what was in it....
:)
THAT’S one for the history books, for sure!
I see it this way
Assume that as a form of economic stimulus, the Gov’t planned to fly over my city in a helicopter, and dump out $100 bills. Its stupid, inefficient, and wasteful.
But, I feel I have zero control of what the Government does, despite having voted. If the Government is going to do it anyway, then I will very likely step outside on that day and try to pick up some of the free money.
Ping.
I have not decided who’s dumb and who’s dumber...The idiots doing these polls or the idiots re-electing Obama.
Okay, now you numskulls are going to get a lesson in stupid.
bttt
They passed it, and we found out what was in it.
Idiot Americans have to get hit twice in the face to realize it hurts? God help us!
Face it... it IS what the MSM wants you to believe it is!
PERIOD
Resign yourself to never knowing the actual facts about anything, from here on out!
Silly Teaparty!...They had no clue what was coming! They were just way to extremist!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“Majority votes for Obama”
“Majority now against gov’t healthcare guarantee”
Both are true. How can this be?
Because the voters don’t understand these are contradictory statements. They just liked Obama better than that other guy.
I doubt it. Most likely when you subtract Dem cheating, Romney wins. This poll supports that theory, too.
Yikes!!...American pretzel logic!
Because the other guy supported Obamacare too. Gosh, how did that work out?
