Obamacare, No one believes it

No surprise to me. Analysis of a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC news poll on Obamacare. Number 2 is funny and quite believable and count me in regarding number 3, not that it will make much difference locally.

1. “47% think their costs will go up thanks to Barack Obama’s healthcare plan, while only 13% think their costs will go down.”

2. “By an incredible 61% to 14% margin, more people believe scientists will discover life in outer space than believe the current healthcare plan won’t add a penny to the deficit.”

3. “25% of those surveyed said they would actively work to defeat members of Congress who vote for a government insurance plan, while only 8% said they would work to support them.”

4. “Half of all Americans (49%) now oppose the plan, while only 39% support it (and 12% remain undecided).”

5. “More than a third of Americans strongly oppose the legislation (34%). They are primarily, but not exclusively, conservative voters.”

6. “48% of self-identified independents oppose the legislation (30% strongly), compared to only 40% who support it.”

7. “A majority of Americans (55%) agree that ‘When it comes to the healthcare reform debate in Washington, I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore’.”

And this is the biggie: “Seniors, obviously a key constituency, are in firm opposition to the reform plan (57% oppose, 36% support). Back in April, they were evenly divided. More precisely, it is men aged 60+ who are the angriest. Fully 47% of men 55 or older are strongly oppose the plan (61% are at least somewhat opposed).”


Also, there are bound to be some true believers in Boulder. Heck they might even believe Obamacare won’t add a penny to the deficit.

Young people need to wake up. There’s lot’s of weight being put on their shoulders and they seem oblivious.
