26 states disagree with you....

Exactly! And those 26 states have the backing of most of their residents to get rid of this terrible HC bill.

What poll are YOU looking at?

Even a Democratic poll shows a majority of Americans want it repealed.

The GOP won that battle. Democrats are now officially on the record defending a disastrous bill. Which is sad, considering they've had time to let all the healthcare hoopla of 2009-2010 settle and actually make an informed decision about the law. American's hate the law, as evidenced by the GOP win in November, but Democrats still couldn't find it within themselves to admit they f***ed up. They could have taken the high road and admitted to being shortsighted on healthcare reform, but they chose to officially seal their own electoral defeat. Sad day for liberals.

Sure, take a gander and try to understand the significance of the data.

Stat of the Week: The Uninsured in the United States - Kaiser Health Reform (http://healthreform.kff.org/scan/2011/january/stat-of-the-week-the-uninsured-in-the-united-states.aspx - broken link)

and from the Census Bureau

The dems have had control of congress now for what 4 years and the white house for 2. When are they going to start doing the things you point out?

Has November 2nd, 2010 already been forgotten??

Remember before November 2nd how hard Democrats attempted to stay as far away from that topic as they possibly could?

The people already spoke on how much they like ObamaCare.

I hope the Dems DO indeed make it a campaign issue in 2012.

Census Bureau Report on Income Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States 2009 - Kaiser Health Reform

Exactly where does it say 90% of Republicans have HC Insurance on those pages you linked to?

All the dems loud mouthing on here know this and they know it is their last attempt to demonize the repups before the s..t hits the fan.

Remenber how after Obama and the dems won their elections they all bragged about how the repub party was dead. Then look at the results of the last election.

Also those in favor, which will probably be more as parts of it go into effect, regardless of the ruling in FL.
