A new poll finds that many Americans are confused about the health care overhaul legislation commonly called “Obamacare.”

The Kaiser Family Foundation released results of a non-partisan study today finding more than 40 percent did not even know the law was in place.

The survey showed public opinion on Obamacare is at its second-lowest rating in the past two years.

Less than half – 40 percent – of adults viewed the ACA favorably, whereas 35 percent said they viewed it unfavorably. Another 24 percent said they did not know or refused to answer.

Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, one of the original crafters of the bill, earlier this month predicted a chaotic implementation process for the Affordable Care Act. “I just see a huge train wreck coming down,” Baucus, D-Mont., said.

In a completely unrelated story, 99% of the 42% said they voted for the namesake of Obamacare in the last election, if the weren’t too high to get to the polls. The other 1% reportedly voted Pat Buchanan in error.

Seriously, this is why we wont solve our problems with elections anymore. half the country is too stupid or too much on the mooch (or both) to understand you cant pass out goodies to everyone everywhere, forever. We’re going to have to start over.
