A new Gallup survey seems to suggest that majority of Americans now back government-run health care.
That, at least, is what Gallup’s headline about its poll says: “Majority in U.S. Support Idea of Fed-Funded Healthcare System.”
The mainstream press eagerly ran with the story. The Washington Post, for example, headlined its piece: “Poll: Most Americans want to replace ObamaCare with single-payer — including many Republicans.”
The ABC News headline blared “Poll Says Majority of Americans Prefer ‘Medicare For All’ Health Care,” and the story led by saying that “A growing number of Americans now support the idea of federally funded health care.”
Look more carefully at the poll itself, however, and you see that it doesn’t show that at all.

Mainstream journalists are using polling data to lie? I’m shocked!
Medicaid run by the VA for all.
There.....fixed it.
save for later
It’s just the usual liberal media distorting a story to fit the agenda.
The truth is that Obamacare is achieving its design objective of panicking the public into ACQUIESCING to socialized medicine.
Tens of thousands in annual premiums with tens of thousands deductibles.
What’s not to like?

One of the selling points of Obamacare was the 40 million uninsured.
Last figures I saw a year or so ago showed the there were still 20 million uninsured, even though Obamacare has been around for 5+ years.
What the figures don’t show is the number of those who USED TO BE insured before Obumadon’tcare but are now uninsured or insured in NAME ONLY. There are a lot of people who are listed as insured but because of high premiums and deductibles are worse off than if they had no insurance at all. They can’t pay for any of their own care because all their money is going for insurance costs but they never meet the deductibles so the insurance never pays. Even when they do meet deductibles the insurance may cover such a low percentage that it is nearly worthless. I used to have one hundred percent coverage for hospital, a lot of people now have only sixty or seventy percent which is practically the same as no coverage.
BINGO!
I think I heard on the news that Obamacare is discontinuing the Bronze Plan. That was the lowest price/lowest deductibles plan.
Apparently, it wasn’t making the insurers/Obamacarefund enough money.
