AP-GfK Poll: More than half say Obama should lose
On health care reform…
The poll found unpopularity for last year’s health care reform bill, one of Obama’s major accomplishments. About half of the respondents oppose the health care law and support for it dipped to 29 percent from 36 percent in June. Just 15 percent said the federal government should have the power to require all Americans to buy health insurance.
Of course, Obamacare doesn’t work if everyone doesn’t buy health insurance.
It boggles my mind how many people can suspend reality and believe that nothing bad will ever happen to them. In the period of slightly more than a year my daughter developed ulcerative colitus (an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the colon), went through the complete range of treatments and ended up having her colon removed. Even with that, the 9cm of colon remaining still has colitus and she is back on remicade infusion treatment, which at Children’s Hospital is $9000 a pop after insurance discounts. Fortunately, this time she is responding much better to treatment then before.
I would like to personally thank my evil private insurance company for paying out over $200,000 and more likely $300,000 over the last 13 months for the various treatments, hospital stays and surgeries she has had. ’nuff said.
