Democrats: The more Americans learn, the more they love health-care reform

Congressional Democrats on Monday dismissed fresh polling data that suggest that most Americans want the Supreme Court to invalidate all or parts of the the 2010 health-care law, arguing that most people grow to support the law once they learn more about it.

“The more they find out about it, the more they like it,” Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.) insisted Monday, adding later that “Republicans are now trying to get rid of something, and we’re moving ahead, and people are beginning to feel the positive effects.”

“The Republicans have promised Repeal and Replace, and there has been no replacement,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). “It’s been repeal and some voucher plan offered as a way to deal with Medicare and nothing for the rest of the population. So there is no replace.”

Matsui, Schakowsky and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) spoke Monday on a conference call with reporters designed to counter the Republican campaign to revive doubts about the legislation. And it could be a very tough sell.

"Democrats: The more Americans learn, the more they love health-care reform..."

..... Unless what they learn actually comes from the healthcare bill itself!! .... In which case the result would be quite a different story!!

Rasmussen says: Essentially support and opposition have wiggled over the past two years without any real change, but he said the week it passed, "55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Bill," and he says today, "The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows that 56% at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law, including 46% who Strongly Favor it. Thirty-nine percent (39%) oppose repeal, with 29% who are Strongly Opposed." As usual, the Democrats are lying.

hunh. so that's the talking point; the useful idiot in work is always saying how great obamacare is.

They have their footsoldiers; and like their idol the O, they are teflon. Who's gonna debate the moron at work? So he just goes on and on, in full voice...

“Republicans are now trying to get rid of something, and we’re moving ahead, and people are beginning to feel the positive effects.”

Oh, right . . . Like getting the notice from my insurance company that my premium is going up again?

Also “finding out what’s in it” includes getting to pay a surcharge to fund abortions against my will.

Yeah, I am just over the top happy about obamacare.

[From The Deer Stand]

The Democrats keep on trying to compete with the Comedy Channel.

[dforest]

I can guarantee you they will deem every bone in your conservative body not worth a dime to save. LOL

I wish I was making a joke;(

[Brilliant]

What they really mean is that the more the Democrats lie, the more people like it.

[jersey117]

The only people who want obamacare are the leeches who will be getting it for free.

[dforest]

Who are the other people in that picture?

[trappedincanuckistan]

I wish I was joking. I’m disabled. I’ll be first to go.

[dforest]

Yep, I have two bad knees and am basically blind in in one eye.

We are toast.

I mentioned this to my 80 year old parents. They didn’t deny it to make me feel better. They know.

Sad, isn’t it?

[tacticalogic]

If they’re so proud of it, why are they so touchy about people calling it “Obamacare”?

[tumblindice]

“the leeches who will be getting it for free”
Exactly.
Ordinarily “exempt” means you are not affected at all. But I believe here it means that those exempted are exempt from the obligation to pay, but not the benefits of medical care; that is, the exempted will receive the same lousy care provided to the suckers paying for it.
So it won’t be “free” after all—except to 0’s base. And it will be a lot more expensive to the payors because a huge bureaucratic infrastructure will have to be created, all beholden to the Democrats.

WHAT THE WHAT?

LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES.

[TribalPrincess2U]

That’s why they’re amounting boat loads of money for bribes and
illegal voting. They can’t win without cheating and out and out fraud.

[Liberty Valance]

It’s from an SNL skit.

[dforest]

Okay, thanks.

[W. W. SMITH]

I read that headline over and over and wondered are democrats really that delusional?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////And the next thought was “ how do they become that delusional”

[TribalPrincess2U]

The same peoiple that don’t want voter ID, perhaps.

[Let's Roll]

OK, then why aren’t members of congress and their staffs along with the WH, unions, muzzies etc. all clamoring to sign up?

Anything we ‘learn’ from the obamacare creators but avoiders is bound to be a lie.
