gee, who shoves it down our throat every waking day?
The only thing amazing about this poll (besides the fact that anyone trusts anything from nbc) is that it isn't even further in the blue direction.
BTW, when was the last time any of the msm's let a Republican even mention an alternative plan on the air? hint: it won't happen.
AND from NBC news no less. Goodness, the left will reach for anything to prove positives over their FAILURE these days. LOL! 1005 people represent over 300 million!
You obviously don't undestand how polling works. You don't poll 300 million people for Chrissakes. You get a random sample of the population. Jeez, this is basic statistics.
Why would you expect people to understand. Look at the drop out rate in the country! He still polls way higher than just about anyother national politician. Just about hmmmmm? Who is his statistical competition?
Congressman Cantor had his chance and I do not think he would want this aired on NBC or any other large network station. It was downright shameful and not what anyone on the left or right would want a relative or friend of theirs to be told when they are in dire need of health care. This is not a plan...this is a sad depiction of what the representatives that are in the pockets of the health insurance lobbyists have to offer.
Cantor tells uninsured woman with growing tumors to Find Charity
He told her what she can do NOW, not in 2013 when the health care reform will start (if it gets passed). I've heard this story several times now and no one mentions that the first thing he told her was that she might already be elligible for Medicaid. People try to make this look like Cantor is being cold hearted when he advises this woman because you don't see empathy on his face. He's helping her, not campaigning off of what she just told him by saying something like, "This kind thing is the reason this country needs health care reform now."
Something to point out, she lost her job....when she did, she had the option to take COBRA and apparently declined (otherwise, she'd still have coverage). I don't know what state she's from but, she also could have applied for individual coverage. If her health status was an issue at that time (which I'm thinking it wasn't since she opted not to take COBRA), she should have taken the COBRA until it was exhausted and then used to HIPAA certificate to get guaranteed individual coverage (including any pre-ex's). I know this doesn't help her now but, it's not like she didn't have options and that losing your job means automatically losing your coverage. People should call a broker when they have questions, instead of making a bunch of phone calls and trying to wing it on their own....brokers can tell you immediately what's possible for each person's situation and there's no extra charge for using one (just make sure they're reputable).
