?Obamacare? Poll Finds 42% of Americans Unaware It?s Law - ABC News

A new poll finds that many Americans are confused about the health care overhaul legislation commonly called “Obamacare.”

The Kaiser Family Foundation released results of a non-partisan study today finding more than 40 percent did not even know the law was in place.

“Four in ten Americans (42%) are unaware that the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is still the law of the land,” the report says, “including 12 percent who believe the law has been repealed by Congress, 7 percent who believe it has been overturned by the Supreme Court and 23 percent who say they don’t know enough to say what the status of the law is.”

The survey showed public opinion on Obamacare is at its second-lowest rating in the past two years.

Americans have been dumbed down to the point that the government can fuck them in the ass. They wouldn't mind either.

And only 35% of the public favors ObamaCare...

A new poll from the Associated Press-GfK shows PPACA’s support dropping to an all-time low:

WASHINGTON – Amid a budget debate that will affect the health care of virtually every family, a new poll finds support for President Barack Obama’s overhaul at its lowest level since passage last year.

But in a ringing defense of Obama’s policies, Medicare chief Donald Berwick pleaded Tuesday for more time on the health care law, and branded a leading Republican plan “unfair and harmful” and “a form of withholding care.”

The Associated Press-GfK poll showed that support for Obama’s expansion of health insurance coverage has slipped to 35 percent, while opposition stands at 45 percent and another 17 percent are neutral. That nearly ties the previous low in September 2009, when after a summer of heated town hall meetings dominated by critics, only 34 percent supported Obama’s approach.

The worry this time appears to be federal budget deficits driven by unmanageable health care costs. Among seniors, whose views are critical in any debate over health care, support for the law dipped below 30 percent for the first time in AP-GfK polling.

Hell. Guess they should have put Romney in the WH then.

Instead they re elected Barry and we have no way to get rid of that POS bill.

Romney should have pounded the ACA on the campaign trail and not let voters forget it which they obviously did.

Now we are now stuck with that expensive POS.

And if they did do that to you, you could expect a call from Obama.

When those people do become aware, man are they going to be pissed!
