The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, was launched five years ago but more Americans today say they are unhappy with the law than those who claim to be happy with it, a recent Gallup poll confirmed.

The survey also showed that in the half-decade the law has been in place, support for it has never surpassed 48 percent, and in November 2014, only 37 percent of Americans said they approved of Obamacare.

In the latest survey, conducted April 1-4, only 44 percent of Americans said they approved of the law, while 50 percent said they disapproved. According to Gallup, even after President Obama was elected in November 2012, support for the law peaked at 48 percent.

The number of those who say they approve of the law has risen since the poll was last taken in November 2014, when Obamacare’s approval rating was at a record low of 37 percent. At the time, 56 percent of Americans said they disapproved of the law.

I spoke with a tax preparer in the mall today and she said most people are very upset with the tax part of Obamacare and many are taking the penalties for not having insurance because they can’t afford the premiums or the deductables.

"the percentage who say it has hurt their situation continues to be marginally higher than the percentage who say it has helped.”

Well ain't that some shit? 44% say they approve of the law, yet only 32% have actually signed up for it. So, some of the people that I assume are good Obama loving libs approve but aren't putting their money where their mouth is.

Not only that, but every single story on Obamacare fails to mention that almost 70% of the people in America have chosen to become law breakers instead of buying into this scam to grow government.

I tried to correct my income via computer and it froze. I called for help and the only way to continue and correct my income amount was to claim I was incarcerated and was just released. (Never have been in jail) Just did my taxes and still being penalized for wrong info on income. This is Covered Calif. and I hate it.

That’s a shame. And they don’t care if people get screwed over.

I bet the Illegals going for Earned Income Tax Credits have no problems.

Exactly! And it pi$$es me off to no end. The stupid idiots have no idea what’s going on and can’t see beyond the end of their noses, let alone the big picture. They are so indoctrinated that they accept anything handed out by their masters.

...and then I see today's news that Obama is trying to deny benefits to injured soldiers shot by the Islamic warrior at Ft. Hood, Joe Biden takes a baby's pacifier and puts it in his mouth and Michelle Obama does her boog-a-booo dance on TV - it leaves me wondering how much lower they can take the bar for leading a nation.

GOD HELP US ALL.

I’m afraid before he’s finished we’ll see some things that make things he’s done up till now look tame.

I know that you are right ...I've known it for a while.

He has gotten away with his transformation because no one has the courage to stand up and face accusations of racism for telling the truth about what he is doing.

Another fear I have is that the next president will not have the courage to undo any of this garbage and bring some rational behavior back in the federal government.

I think you are right.

They can’t implement their New World Order with a soverign, strong United States. They want to take us down a few notches.
