Field Poll: Obamacare support in California grows
Orange County Register ^ | August 20, 2014 | BY BERNARD J. WOLFSON

California voters, who have always favored the Affordable Care Act by a large majority, now support it more strongly than ever, according to an opinion survey published Tuesday.

A new Field Poll, conducted from late June to mid-July, shows that 56 percent of registered voters in the state favor the health reform law, also known as Obamacare, while 35 percent are opposed.

The poll, sponsored by the California Wellness Foundation, was based on telephone interviews conducted from June 26 to July 19 – in seven languages – with 1,535 registered voters.

We can expect support to grow as the number of people seeking free government care increases.

What do you expect from a state with 54 electoral votes that ALWAYS go to Democrats.... wholly and invariably?

Just wait until they’re under it and have to pay higher and higher premiums.

This ‘sudden’ support for 0care doesn't have anything to do with planting untold thousands of Central Americans in California earlier this year does it?

What a surprise they would check ‘yes’ for freebies - or perceived freebies.

Is going to be fun to watch employers flee the state at ever greater numbers and watch the brainwashed saying ‘what happened?’ How come my EBT card isn’t working then going to get treatment from riots for injuries received and finding they have no insurance and the state of California has decided not to pay their bills. Sense big trouble.

Is anyone surprised by this? California is about 3/4ths of a trillion dollars in debt and liabilities, and yet their legislature is hell-bent on spending more and more.

Truly, their legislature just reflects the will of their people, who collectively seek their own destruction.

A significant majority said the law has succeeded at encouraging the uninsured to get insurance, and has given them more health care choices. By a ratio of 50-to-28 percent, Californians also said Obmacare has afforded them stronger consumer protection.

***************************************

In other words, they’re buying the propaganda. I’ll bet if they surveyed folks who actually had to use it, they’d find a different result, especially if the questions weren’t slanted in such a way that partisan answers are the result .... as indicated by this little tidbit in the article:

“Support for the law is highly tied to partisanship,” said Liz Hamel, director of public opinion and survey research at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “California is a blue state, so it’s not surprising that support has always been higher here.”

DUH.
