Fox News Poll: 56 percent want to go back to pre-ObamaCare system
Fox News ^ | May 22, 2013 | Dana Blanton

Majorities of American voters say their family will be worse off under the Affordable Care Act, and think it would be better to go back to the pre-ObamaCare health care system.

A Fox News poll released Wednesday finds that while 26 percent of voters say their health care situation will be better under the new law, twice as many -- 53 percent -- say it will be worse. Another 13 percent say it won’t make a difference.

Almost all Republicans (85 percent) and just over half of independents (51 percent) say they will be worse off under ObamaCare. Nearly half of Democrats expect to be better off (48 percent), while about one-quarter believe they will be worse off (24 percent).

If you defund it, repealing it becomes irrelevant.

That way frightened Pubbies can keep their fingerprints off stuff like repealing the free birth control or (ahem)CHILDREN staying on Daddy’s plan till age 26.

Those will just fade away when the whole thing collapses.

Obamecare is toast. It’s too big , too complicated...too many moving parts. I’m not sure what’s going to happen when the wheels fall off though.

I think instead we will see an acceleration to single payer

That was the whole point of Obamacare - come up with a system that is so bad that the sheeple will beg for socialized medicine instead.

“To buy what you want, from whom you want. Or to not buy at all, if you so choose.”

That’s fine, but what about the hospitals, doctors, nurses, et al who are forced by law to provide services to everyone? That is the problem that was created by government, and Obamacare is government’s “solution” to the problem they created.

Exactly right. Forcing them to serve everyone is a huge government assault on freedom.

A free society would best enable us to volunteer and donate to help our fellow citizens who are unable to pay for medical needs.

Osama Obama's ultimate dream for the country is CanadaCare...I've seen the interview where he says that.In Canada there are major heart operations which,under official government guidelines,have an allowable wait time of 6 months (I saw that on an official Canadian government healthcare website).At the large hospital where I worked (for 20 years) a patient who urgently needed heart surgery waited minutes and those who needed non urgent procedures (not all heart operations are of an "emergency" nature) could have it done within a few days at most.

Just research the Canadian and British newspapers to see how many people there wait months for heart surgery,for an appointment with an oncologist or for a hip replacement or a cataract operation.

Given that at least half...and probably more like two-thirds...of this nation's Rat voters are layabout parasites it's not surprising that half of them would think they'd be better off.

It's kinda like Medicaid here in Massachusetts.A long time ago it was decided that those recipients (a huge percentage of whom are worthless parasites) would receive infertility benefits under the state's plan.When some people expressed disapproval the Rats' response was "well,we can't have a two tier health system with the most vulnerable among us getting the inferior plan.That would be racist".

And the real effects of Obamacare haven't even been felt yet. Wait until October when all the insurance exchanges are supposed to be in effect (and there will be utter chaos instead). And when the masses who thought voting for Obama would give them free medical - and instead they will be paying through the nose for insurance with a huge deductible and copays.

Many on the Left have long pushed for “direct democracy” (public referendum votes on laws) in place of representative republican government. Something tells me that they’ll stop squawking about it now.
