In U.S., Majority Now Against Gov't Healthcare Guarantee...Huh?
Gallup Politics ^ | 11/28/12 | Jeffrey Jones

Posted on 11/28/2012 8:01:41 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

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.

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.

Why is why most of us silly extremists who don't know anything about politics were fighting like tooth and nail to try to block the grandfather of Obamacare from getting the nomination...

“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.

"Stop with the polls that show how much Americans hate Obamacare!!!...They re-elected the A-hole!"

I doubt it. Most likely when you subtract Dem cheating, Romney wins. This poll supports that theory, too.
