Hello, stupid American Low Information Voter!

Uninsured Americans have soured on the Affordable Care Act in the past three months – and that bodes ill for the law’s popularity and financial underpinnings.
Less than a quarter—24%—of uninsured Americans think the health care law is a good idea, and half think it’s a bad idea, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Wednesday. That’s an 11-point dive in support from three months ago, when a September poll — before the troubled rollout of the HealthCare.gov marketplace –found that 35% of the uninsured thought it was a good idea, and 32% thought it was a bad idea.
The law’s success depends on a balance of old, sick individuals and young, healthy ones. Should the people who are currently uninsured because they rarely require treatment not enroll in the new health care exchanges, insurers will be left with older, sicker patients who will drive up costs.

But wait, it gets worse for the Democrats:
A Harvard Institute of Politics poll last week found that less than 30% of uninsured millenials—adults aged 18-29—said they will definitely or probably enroll in health care exchanges if and when they are eligible. Young adults tend to have a high uninsured rate compared to other age groups—in 2012, 27.4% were uninsured, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Hello, stupid American Low Information Voter!
We have to start calling it Democratcare. Obama will be gone, but the pain can remain!
Democratcare!
Democratcare!
Democratcare!
Young people don’t get insured because they seldom get sick and rarely require expensive hospitalization.
Good luck in getting them to enroll in Obamacare.
The WSJ/NBC poll, which surveyed 1,000 adults from Dec. 4-8, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
This poll isn't even Likely Voters, who pay more attention than just "adults". These "adults" include non-voters who are even denser than Low Information Voters.
What does John Boehner say?
You cannot avoid the marketplace. It is the very nature of existence itself (at least in this world).
Even more bad, bad news for Democrats.
We need to start calling this bill what it really is:
Democratcare
It was passed with 100% Democrat support, it’s been a Democrat dream since before Hillarycare.
Well America, you got Democrated. How does it feel?
I get a better response with:
O’BUMMER-CARE
The government has no business dabbling in anybody’s healthcare. Medical decisions should be between the patient and their doctor. A government bean counter shouldn’t be involved. ESPECIALLY SOMEONE FROM THE IRS.
That’s witty, but the problem is that Obama’s gone in three years.
Democrats are forever.
See how Democratcare works. Toss it around a bit, explain that Democratcare is Obamacare is Hillarycare. They’ve wanted it for nearly a half century.
Now you got it good and hard. How do you like it?
NVDave pinged for use of “good and hard”.
Correct, no third-party payer at all.
To achieve that we need to pass:
1. pricing transparency
2. national purchasing rights (across state lines, over the Internet, etc.)
3. let individuals get the same tax discount that businesses get for insurance.
4. Commerce Clause enforcement. If Wickard proves that everything is in commerce, then why are local, county and state governments allowed to interfere in the medical/healthcare market with restrictive licensing, permitting and regulation? (for this one we need a conservative POTUS, but the top three can be done via Congress)
Of course to do all this we’d need Congress, both Houses and a mildly conservative POTUS.
OdumboCare
Many who didn’t have insurance coverage didn’t because they didn’t want to, not because they couldn’t get it.
Isn’t that true of many regulations enforced by the heavy hand of government?
The d@amn thing has NEVER polled >50%, yet it lives.
Is there any question we are ruled by an oligarchy?
Article V.
Not everything is Frontpage.
Especially when it’s 4 days old.
Many healthy people put money in the pot. The money is to be used to pay the medical bills of the few who get sick.
The amount of money you must put in the pot is based solely on the odds that you will need medical attention. This is fair.
However the government wants to kink the system so that people that are wealthier will have to pay more than their fair share.
Additionally the people that are low risk will have to pay as much as the high risk people.
This is wealth redistribution on top of wealth redistribution. This is no longer helping those in need. This is pillaging and plundering. We are now a full on socialist country.
Barak Obama, “Baaaaah, the uninsured, what do they
know about insurance?”
Nonsense. Age in days isn’t the correct criteria for front page, but relevance.
