Bias.
It must be racism. It couldn’t be that people just don’t support his far left wing socialist positions.
ozero blew his credibility a long time ago. Why should we believe him on anything?
in other news, the sun will rise tomorrow...
Obama can still give himself a bump in the polls just by showing up on TV. But he can't move the voting public to support his initiatives. The bloom is still not quite completely off the rose. As time moves on, however, the popularity of his policies and the man himself will merge and the poll bumps will get smaller and less frequent. You can count on it.
Another Obama speech accompanied by a wave of nausea that struck the nation.
How perceptive of USA Today but have they noticed yet the fact that 1 million plus folks protested the Prez in their backyard yet? Forest for the trees? They need to go out of business...
Obama is over-exposed and his camp knows it.
America has the finest health care in the world from preventative maintenance to emergency heart surgery, there is no place on earth where a person can get more attention on short notice.
There are laws in this country that prevent hospitals from turning patients away in an emergency room. Everyone who wants or needs healthcare “can” get it.
This debate is about insurance coverage and the cost. If insurance and medicine costs less, insurance is cheaper and more could afford it, whether it be employers or individuals. The poor, the old, the dissabled already get medicaid and medicare, we have the support for them.
When up to 30% of the direct and indirects costs go to a combined preventative/protective medicine testing waste and medical malpractice premiums, there is a very real way to reduce costs. When states do not allow insurance companies to offer coverage across state lines, you reduce competition and there is less supply. When states have laws that require employers and insurance companies to cover specifics, it creates waste.
There are simple solutions that will not add $1 trillion in brand new deficit over 10 years on top of the $2 trillion we have already added in 2009. Free up the market across the nation. Tort reform that forbids lawsuits for “undiagnosis” or “punishment”, cap liability cases and charge the prosecuting attorney fines for frivolous suits and defense attorney costs on lost cases. 50% of the problem will be solved.
As it stands now, we are losing doctors in droves across the country. Insurance companies are not putting the patient first and doctors are afraid of being sued. Now the government want to step in to make sure the insurance companies will look out for the patients instead of their investors and that the doctors behave themselves and not fear attorneys. The government will be the next monster introduced into healthcare that will detract from the concerns of the patients.
Wait, what about CNNs double digit bump??
They keep tying their brains in knots trying to come up with reasons for our resistance.
It’s very simple really. We watch govt screw up everything it touches. NO WAY we want it involved in something as vital as healthcare. The myriad details don’t matter. Even IF we believe the left is well intentioned, it NEVER goes the way they promise.
We’ve allowed them to experiment with way too many vital functions - education, the economy etc. but the line is drawn here. Too bad it wasn’t drawn before they took over the indoctrination of our children.
This administration and congress will go down in history as the one where communist took over our free enterprise system and made billions of citizens miserable.
