Older Americans between ages 55 and 64 are at particular risk, she said.

Ras at least 55% favor repeal, CNN 50% favor repeal, This WaPo poll didn't get much play;

Washington Post (washingtonpost.com)

52% opposed and 59% want all or part repealed.

Take out that ridiculous AP poll and clear majorities are still opposed;

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Obama and Democrats' Health Care Plan

And that will increase as they are reminded of just what a disaster this law is.

Gallup Poll: U.S. split on health care law repeal - USATODAY.com

In individual states, repeal is also favored;

Health care repeal backed by 47 percent in poll - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Obamacare Repeal Gains Momentum

If you go back and look at the polling done before the election, especially PPP pollster, most states, excluding the true blues wanted obamacare repealed. Hasn't been in the news much, but when the GOP holds their hearings and gets a correct score from the CBO, it will be.

The public don't want the repeal. Many don't like everything about the bill, but very few actually want a repeal. I believe the number was less than 25% who wanted a repeal. The Republicans are acting strictly against the will of American people.

Propaganda and made up numbers by the HHS, which has been politicized by the WH.

About that HHS Report on Pre-Existing Conditions « Hot Air

They pretty much threw every "condition" in there to get such a high number, evens ones that are treatable.

Quote:
If you’ve ever been diagnosed with a common, treatable illness like hypertension or ADHD (which affects about 4% of American adults), you fit into the broad HHS definition as someone with a pre-existing condition. Again, this is a bald-faced attempt to come up with a big number.

In case you have any remaining doubt that this is a political effort, check out this conclusion:
Just more lies and propaganda for their big "push".

Hey, how about those who didn't have coverage in the first place prior to the bill's passage?

Yes, that's the number I heard too. One in four.

No one will force you to believe data you refuse to believe. There is nothing easier than to say "I reject the source".

Ras 60% want repeal, WaPo 59% repeal ALL or parts, USAToday almost 50% repeal, CNN 50% repeal.

Yeah, they do want repeal.

Look into state polling, even bigger majorities want repeal.
