Grassroots Democrats Begin to Oppose Obamacare

by Art Kelly | 4/2/2013


The results from the most recent Kaiser Health Tracking Poll show grassroots Democrats are beginning to join independents and Republicans in opposing Obamacare.

Recent news reports have documented how Obamacare is causing unemployment, increasing the cost of health insurance, causing employees to lose their health insurance at work, forcing small medical practices out of business, and attacking the religious beliefs of many Christians.

As a result, it was only a matter of time before grassroots Democrats began to feel the pain from Obamacare and react against it.  While their negative opinions of the law are not yet as strong as independents and Republicans, it is clear they are beginning to understand its many flaws.

Overall, only 37% of the people have a favorable view of Obamacare.  40% view it unfavorably and 23% are undecided.

When asked if “you and your family will be better off or worse off” under Obamacare, just 21% of voters said they thought they would be better off!  29% said worse off and 40% said the same.

When asked about the nation as a whole, 55% said the so-called Affordable Care Act would make the cost of health care worse. Only a tiny 21% thought the law would make health care more affordable, while 18% said it would stay the same.

When asked about the effect of the law on the quality of care, 45% said it would be worse, 24% better, and 26% the same.

The results by party showed that only 58% of Democrats had a favorable view of Obamacare, but that was far better than the 31% of independents and 18% of Republicans.

But just 37% of Democrats thought the law would improve the cost of health care for the nation.  34% of Democrats said it would make the costs of health care go up and 26% said it will stay the same.

On a personal level, only 23% of Democrats thought Obamacare would help make health care more affordable for them and their families and 26% thought it would drive costs up. 46% said it would be the same.

Just 39% of Democrats said Obamacare would improve the quality of health care nationally. 25% of Democrats said it would make it worse and 34% believe it will stay the same.

And on a personal level, only 25% of Democrats believe Obamacare will improve the quality of care for themselves.  16% said it would make their own quality of health care worse and 46% said it would be the same.

These poll results spell major trouble for Democratic candidates in the 2014 congressional elections.

It’s not a coincidence that 34 Senate Democrats joined all 45 Republicans in voting for an amendment to the Senate Budget that would repeal the 2.3% Obamacare tax on the sale of medical devices, which has already resulted in much unemployment in that industry.

The National Journal examined this issue from a multi-year perspective:  “In 2010, Republicans, helped in part by public opposition to the law, won back the House and picked up seats in the Senate. Last year, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s embrace of the individual mandate while Massachusetts governor largely neutralized what had been a potent political issue.”

The National Journal continued:  “In the next two years, Republicans are looking to bring the issue back in a big way. And they’ll start by trying to brand the law as one that costs too much and is not working as promised.”

With grassroots Democrats becoming disillusioned with Obamacare, Democratic members of the House and Senate are likely to become more open to changes in order to make the law less onerous.

DEM REP. JIM WEBB: OBAMACARE REPRESENTS A LEADERSHIP FAILURE FOR OBAMA

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/post/jim-webb-health-care-law-represents-a-leadership-failure-for-obama/2012/04/18/gIQAIbKpQT_blog.html

Yet, it was modeled after Romneycare.

And Republicans, RINOS and conservatives are having Romneygasms.

1+1 = 2

Obamacare + Romneycare = 2

Same thing.

What's happened to you? Where'd you leave your brains?

And you wonder why I have a tag called "Obama and bullshit"?

He's BRINGING MURDER AND CHAOS TO THE UNITED STATES AS A COUNTRY, JOBLESSNESS, DESPAIR, PITTING RICH AGAINST THE MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASSES, INSTITUTING RACISM WHERE THERE WAS NONE BEFORE AND ALL BECAUSE OUR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE SUPREME COURT, THE SENATE WILL NOT TAKE A STAND. THEY ARE WEAK, EMASCULATED FLUNKIES. THE WOMEN ARE WEAK.

BUT WE ARE NOT!

DEMS ABANDONING OBAMA AND NAPOLITANO ON NAKED BODY SCANNERS AND TSA

Maybe Pelosi doesn't want her grandkids groped.

Hopefully, as a conscientious grandmother, she wouldn't want them x-rayed either.
