Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the House plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

This new poll comes as Senate Republicans unveil their own health care legislation on Thursday. While the Senate bill shares some similarities to the House version, it also contains differences.

....Just 16 percent of adults believe that House health care bill is a good idea, versus 48 percent who say it's a bad idea.

The “poll” was conducted in Berkeley, California....Cambridge, Massachusetts.....Seattle, Washington....and the South Side of Chicago.

I doubt if any of those people could tell what is in the health care bill.

Fake poll. No one knows what’s in the bill. I’m sure the questions were worded such as “if the bill reduced your coverage, would you oppose it?” “If Grannie were pushed off the cliff because of this bill, would you oppose it?

Mad magazine’s poll would have more integrity.

Exactly. What horse dung. They don’t even try to hide their bias anymore.

Or maybe it was conducted on FR, judging from the reaction of the purists here who think the public is going to blame the Democrats for the failure of Obamacare.

The House bill was guaranteed to be in trouble after OMB came out and said that 25 million people would “lose” medical care if it were passed - no one loses anything - 25 million people will no longer be required to buy healthcare insurance under threat of a penalty (or was it a tax? - only Justice Roberts knows for sure) - if they all want to buy it they still can, but many won’t want to because they’re perfectly healthy and don’t believe they need it, or maybe they just want to self-insure and pay their own bills as they go - but of course as usual Republicans are off somewhere looking at the stars and letting the PR battle up to the lefties to prosecute.....

Key questions: Why did people oppose the bill? What percentage opposed it because if wasn't a full repeal? How many opposed it without even knowing that the bill would do?

The question they probably asked is whether or not they approve of replacing Obamacare, if it means they will die.

People don’t want to die.

Yes, the ass hats probably said, "we all know that republicans want to kill you with their horrible, terrible, murderous health care plan. We know that half the country will die because of the Republicans. Do you support them in their desire to kill everyone in the whole wide world?" What ass hats 🎩

This is why we elect Representatives. They are supposed to be able to make the hard choices and vote for legislation that is Constitutional and good, and against legislation that is Unconstitutional or bad.

How the heck is the public supposed to have any idea what's in the GOP bill? Are they supposed to trust the fake news? Are they supposed to read the bill?

Gimme a break. This is a phony poll, first of all, and second of all, the People can trust the President—if no one else—to have their backs on this law, because there's no way President Trump is going to have one of his signature achievements be a piece of crap, like Obama's was.

Just more of the Propaganda Media's attempts to divide the People and keep Obama's sh!tty law—a law based upon lies and deceit—in place.

I do agree that the President and Congress need to be very shrewd about what happens between now and the 2018 midterms. I have supreme faith in President Trump, but equally supreme doubts that the GOPe wing of the Swamp will do anything other than act like a bunch of Establishment crooks.

Hopefully, political practicality might create a moment where the goals of the GOP Congress and those of the President overlap, even if only coincidentally...

“Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the House plan to repeal and replace Obamacare...” based on the news we’ve told you that you will loose your healthcare and die.

I disapprove of the House healthcare bill. The Constitution does not allow the feds any role in healthcare.

I want Obamacare repealed and not replaced with a different form of socialism.

Same here EXCEPT:

I want carriers unrestricted in their ability to provide full underwriting and interstate competition (IC requires federal action)

The 50-state insurance laboratory experiment is over...the Red States win, and they will get all the business.

Terminal and high-cost incurables go into high risk pools.

That's all.
