Summertime Blues: Polls show ObamaCare support eroding amid roll-out problems
FOX News ^ | Aug 14, 2013

Posted on 08/15/2013 10:42:48 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

As problems continue to pile up over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, summertime polls from Fox News, Gallup and Rasmussen signal that growing confusion over the complexities of the law, how it will be rolled out and how much it will cost is eroding public support.

A majority of Americans say they believe the new health care law will increase their medical costs and taxes, according to an Aug. 8 Fox News poll. The survey found 57 percent of those polled felt the way ObamaCare was being rolled out was "a joke."

Overall, 63 percent of voters believe that the 2010 health care law needs to be changed. That number is up from 58 percent of those asked the question in July 2012.

The number of Republicans who think the law should be changed remained steady at 84 percent. According to the poll, more voters used negative terms to describe the health care overhaul -- with 39 percent calling it "disastrous" and 14 percent calling it "a step backwards."

There isn't any part of the average American citizen's life that won't be seriously and negatively impacted by Obamacare.

Just wait ‘till after the rigged elections in ‘16 and the Hillabeast has no options but to fully implement the most ill conceived piece of liberal excrement extant.

Heh!

Enjoy your future entrapment in DC, libs...we’ll be Cairo II.

Including the GOP that seems completely disinterested in doing anything about it.

92% of federal employees do not want this.

How much erosion is possible from there?

It can drop to 0% support and will if it’s ever fully implemented.

ObamaNon-care, as my sister calls it, may be the the most potent weapon the Republicans have in 2016.
