Not even the middle class and unions support Obamacare (states, vote, Republicans)

Perhaps they felt the union health care plan is better.

Oh, what a thorn to the side of Republicans.

Hope you have good insurance!

That still doesnt make sense because Obamacare doesnt abolish union healthcare plans

So this was a vote against "Obamacare" as you call it?

The vote was to ignore Obamacare, so yes I'd say it was against Obamacare.

No federal, state, or local law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in a health care system

Why would unions support Obamacare? Unions already have good insurance, they certainly don't need Obamacare.

That's because the robotic libbies can't grasp the fact that their emperor has no clothes.

What happened to all of that support for Obamacare? Arent we told constantly that union employees were middle class and middle class supports Obamacare?

Whats this say about Obamas re-election prospects when union employees didnt even support his bill

1- ObamaCare allows states to opt out.
2- It is not surprising that the middle class and unions don't like ObamaCare. It has way too many ideas borrowed from the republicans to make good sense.

Poll: Majority Now Support The Individual Mandate

A new CNN poll on the issue of health care reform finds that support for the law’s central and most controversial element, the individual health insurance mandate, has climbed into majority territory.

In the new poll, support for the individual mandate — requiring people to get health insurance — has climbed to 52%, with 47% opposed. When the last survey was taken in June, that a majority of 54% opposed it, with 44% in support.
