Quite possibly the worst legislation ever passed. It should be repealed or defunded.

And as stated so many motherfucking times... you can find a poll to support any stance... that's why polls don't **** except in the actual elections
John? Is that you?
See Poll Question. Look And See. See Spot Run. Ron Spot Run, See The Tea Party Woman, With A Gun!
From the poll:
"2* A proposal has been made to repeal the health care bill and stop it from going into effect. Do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to repeal the health care bill?"
There are four loaded quesiitions, with no middle ground, or a "none of the above."
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Would a "Bearded Mau Mau From Kenya," Smell half so sweet as a Marxist(?)!)
Just how did your fertile imagine come up with that stretch?
You hacks trying to play this off as if it's either "this" or "that," and there's NOTHING else available, are pumping a load of gas here.
How about we try something different because clearly what went on under Bush didn't work. In that "Pledge to America" it was more of the same. Is that really the direction you want to keep going in?

How is the pledge more of the same? Bush spent like hell. The pledge is talking about Stopping the spending.
Sorry the old, It will be more of Bush line, is not working.

Repeal? Most Americans think health reform did not go far enough, poll finds
A new AP poll finds that Americans who think the law should have done more outnumber those who think the government should stay out of health care by 2-to-1.

uhm......I guess it all depends on what you are looking to highlight?
The AP poll was conducted by Stanford University with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Overall, 30 percent favored the legislation, while 40 percent opposed it, and another 30 percent remained neutral.
Polls on individual programs etc. are fine, BUT you have to study the sample questions, partisan pollsters or fronts/grps etc. who do this as one offs, live on over and under sampling ( as in segment balance R/D/I) , and phraseology intended to elicit a particular response.
First rule- no sample questions to reflect the poll, I don't even consider it.
Second rule- no (A) polls...as in Anonymous, (LV) likely voters and (RV) registered voters are best.
BTW, I went to the AP site in the OP and checked their AP exclusive site linked at the bottom, no sign of the innards of the Stanford poll.
Gallup and Ras. always have the questions available and their R/D/I balance is always as close as possible.

It is more of the same. It's more Republican rhetoric. They say they will cut spending but then they go out and say but we're going to spend billions on a missle defense plan. Hell, Bush promised to cut spending too and then went ahead and started the Iraq War when he was told not to.
The poll's questions included a true-or-false quiz on 19 items, some of which are in the law and others not. People were also asked how confident they were about their answers.
For the most part, majorities picked the right answers. But a sizable number also got things wrong. And right or wrong, people were unsure of their answers. Two-thirds or more were uncertain about their responses on eight of nine core provisions of the legislation.
Analysis of the findings indicated a split as far as the impact of accurate knowledge, between Democrats and independents on one side and Republicans on the other.
Accurate knowledge of the law made no difference in overwhelming opposition from Republicans.
Michael Cagnina, 33, a web developer from Powhatan, Va., summed it up: "It just doesn't make me feel comfortable that the government is going to give people free health care but ultimately the government's money is my money."
However, for Democrats and independents, the more accurate knowledge people had of the bill, the more they liked it.
"Among Democrats and independents, the lack of knowledge is suppressing public approval of the bill," said Stanford political science professor Jon Krosnick, who directed the university's participation. "Although the president and others have done a great deal to educate people about what is in this bill, the process has not been particularly successful."

KFF is one of the most respected health policy outfits in the United States. What's your beef with them?
Healthcare isn't getting repealed. GOP'ers who are running on that are just fantasy pandering.
Most Democrats that I know are not happy with the bill because it did not contain the public option. Without the public option, the insurance companies can continue to increase premiums and with many millions of new subscriber, they will do just that. No matter what occurs, the law is going to be amended.Repeal? Most Americans think health reform did not go far enough, poll finds

If the poll shows 61% favored repeal last week and 57% this week, I wonder what it will be next week. As additional features kick in, the support will grow. Starting Jan 1, millions of seniors on Medicare will see a 50% cut in their cost for brand name drugs. Starting this month dependents will be able to remain on their parents policy till they are 26. Also this year the provision that prevents insurance companies from canceling your policy when you get sick goes into effect. I doubt you will see any of these people clamoring for repeal. Also the government is just starting to inform people of their benefits and rights under the new law.

They don't tell him what he wants to hear.
