CNN Poll: Is Obamacare working? [59% still oppose]
CNN ^ | CNN Political Unit

A CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that a majority of Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act, but that some of that opposition is from people who don't think the measure goes far enough.

The poll, conducted this past weekend, was released on Wednesday, one day after a federal appeals court upheld Obamacare tax subsidies. That ruling came just a couple of hours after a separate appeals court struck down such subsidies for the millions of Americans enrolled in the federal government's HealthCare.gov exchange.

According to the poll, only 18% of the public say they or their families are better off now that the major provisions of the health care law have been implemented. Another 35% report that, while their lives have not improved, the Affordable Care Act has benefited other people in the U.S. Add those two numbers together, and that means 53% say that Obamacare has helped either their families or others across the country.

Forty-four percent tell us that the health care law has not helped anyone in the country.

Wait til the double digit premium increases next spring. That 59% will jump to about 80%.

Opinion polls of the “Public” do not matter as long as Speaker Boehner keeps on writing Blank Checks to Obama to continue his personal pledge to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a single-payer Communist State.

It only take three people to run the US Federal Government: Boehner, (to write the blank checks), Reid, (to shutdown the Federal Government anytime that he doesn’t get his way), and Obama to do whatever he wants to do.

The soft under belly of the USA is to keep a weak, crybaby Speaker of the House in power for years, and years, and years.

The Democrat’s favorite tune might be the old popular goes goes: “ - - - - This is so EASY - - - .”

______________

We do not have a Constitutional Republic anymore, what we have is an Oligarchy, according to Webster’s Dictionary:

“Oligarchy - - - noun. 1.) a form of Government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons.

2.) a state governed in the way.

3.) the persons ruling such a state.”

____________________

BTW, it is rumored that Oligarch Obama has a bid on a 4.7 Million Dollar House in California.

If this is true, then that house should be known as “The House that Oligarch Boehner Built for Oligarch Obama.”

Obamacare won’t work, can’t work, shouldn’t work, and there is more of it to come.

Great, a place to house those 60,000 criminal invading kids and their DNA donors. Momma Wokie will love getting them all on a nutritous diet.
