70%? Hardly. I think that number's a bit high; and anyway, it doesn't take into account the people who are dissatisfied with the law because they don't think it went far enough. Unfortunately, laws aren't crafted according to the wishes of the American people. If they were, then the Affordable Care Act (what you call ObamaCare) would have included a public option, since a majority of Americans (including Republicans) supported putting a public option into the law. And the same goes for taxing the rich. A majority of Americans (again, including Republicans) support higher taxes for the rich. So, since you're all about "the people", I'm sure you'll write your congressman and demand a public option and higher taxes on the rich, right?

Obamacare penalty struck down...

Pa. judge declares key part of Obama's health plan unconstitutional
Wed, Sep. 14, 2011 - President Obama's plan to require individual Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, a key pillar of his health-care legislation, is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Tuesday in Harrisburg.

U.S. District Judge Christopher C. Conner said in a 53-page opinion that the federal government's power to regulate commerce did not give it the authority to compel individual citizens to purchase products against their will. The lawsuit was filed by a married couple from Etters in York County against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, asking that the law be overturned. The couple, Barbara Goudy-Bachman, 48, and Gregory Bachman, 56, said they dropped their health-care coverage because of the expense - more than their monthly mortgage payments.

The couple, who operate a bait-and-tackle and marine engine-repair shop, said they preferred to pay for their health care out of pocket. "The nation undoubtedly faces a health-care crisis . . . and the costs to all citizens are measurable and significant," Conner said. "The federal government, however, is one of limited enumerated powers, and Congress' efforts to remedy the ailing health-care and health-insurance markets must fit squarely within those powers." The case is one of several dozen lawsuits playing out in various jurisdictions challenging the constitutionality of Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, which seeks to provide health-insurance coverage to the 40-plus million Americans without insurance.

The litigation in other jurisdictions is much further advanced. The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati has upheld the law, while the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta found that the requirement that individuals purchase insurance is unconstitutional. A third panel, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, rejected challenges to the act, finding that people filing suit to overturn it did not have standing. Decisions from each of those appeals courts have been appealed to the Supreme Court. The split among appeals courts substantially increases the odds that the Supreme Court will take up the matter.

I am trying to be outraged here, but cannot manage it. What is wrong with a PR campaign by the government to promote a government website? They probably spent way too much on it, but they spend too much on everything.

82% of Americans dislike the mandate itself. Are you trying to argue they do not like it because they do not know it is in the law?

Money well spent!

Our money, spent on convincing us that his crappy healthcare plan is gonna solve something it ain't gonna solve. But, of course, the dems know it'll fail.... and that will be their "reason" (or excuse) for bringing in some Universal Health Care plan that will - like every other country who has similar - be a milestone around the taxpayers necks forever.

Fuck that.

Republicans, run on reversing Obamacare. See how well that goes over.

If it were really 70% of america who didnt want it...dont you think the republicans would be all over repealing it. When was the last time you heard any of that crap from a republican? The more people learn what the hell its about, the more they like it.

Especially them not being able to stop you from getting it because of pre existing conditions. Also, the 26 year olds being able to get on the parents policies rule! A lot of college kids are thanking Obama for this one. Them and the parents.

God bless the president of the United States.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Um they are all over repealing it.

Republicans, run on reversing Obamacare. See how well that goes over.

Still appeals to their base, though it doesn't extend far beyond that. As the Bloomberg poll out yesterday showed, a healthy majority is either in wait-and-see mode or content with the law:

Turning to the health care bill passed last year, what is your opinion of the law? (Read list.)

It should be repealed 34
It may need small modifications, but we should see how it works 48
It should be left alone 12
Not sure 6​
