OP, your article states that 63% of the uninsured opposed it before and now 56% STILL oppose it. That is not strong support for Obamacare. OP, you're thread is a complete failure.

Ha. Now that I'm considered "self employed", I have no insurance. I have zero interest in "O" care. I'll take the fine, thank you. Oh wait, they can't get squat back from me since they already plan on taking about 30% of my earnings. I get no refund.

Of course it will, that's why the Repubs are in such a panic. Bill Kristol warned Repubs back in Clinton days, don't ever let Dems pass HC Reform, else the GOP would be hurt for decades ... he was correct.

"Panic"?

Have you signed up, Bob? If not, why not?

If Obamacare was a great plan to improve delivery of healthcare in America, I would be all for it. Now it begs the question, with the following, why the hell are you still for it?

1. website does not work
2. 5 million (as of now) are losing thier current insurance and may not get insurance
3. very few (if any) young people have signed up. That collapses the whole house of cards
4. very few citizens anywhere have signed up
5. We have not even seen the disaster that will occur when the employer mandate arrives
6. from the fact that few young people signed up, there MUST BE tax increases to fund this
7. $750 billion was looted from medicare. How much more will need to be taken?
8. Most physicians are saying they will not accept Obamacare patients. Where will they go?
9. Obama grossly lied about the realities of the plan, thus deceiving the American public. There would have been STRONG opposition to this plan, had he told the truth.


Let's see..................... with another government shutdown looming, perhaps the citizens will demand that Obamacare be overturned then.

you do understand what insurance is.....RISK MANAGEMENT

why does a healthy 20 something NEED to pay $300 a month for insurance, if he only goes to the doctor once a year for an annual check-up

does a healthy 20 something REALLY NEED to pay 3600 or more a year for an annual check up that only costs less than $200??
you do understand that a healthy 20 something can get run over by a bus or get a viral infection or cancer

Panic? That's rich. The right opposes it because the law sucks. Seems even the uninsured agree with us too. The OP's article shows that 56% of uninsured STILL oppose Obamacare. Total thread fail.

This is the second thread started in as many days by the same person in which he/she cites a poll as showing majority support for O'care but the reality is the opposite.

The cracks in the facade are starting to show. This will all come crumbling down soon, and people like Motion will be left speechless and completely confused about what's happening around them, simply because they refused to accept a few simple realities about this law.

I noticed that too. I haven't figured out if it is a reading comprehension problem or wishful thinking that is causing this level of desperation.
