In the wake of President Barack Obama's recent address to Congress on healthcare, a new poll reveals he may not have the support of most Americans on his reform plans.

The Zogby International/O'Leary Report survey of more than 4,200 likely voters found that a large majority oppose key provisions of Obama and the Democrats' healthcare reform proposals, including plans to extend health insurance to as many as 50 million uninsured Americans and to incorporate a form of healthcare rationing in the reforms.

Zogby International and The O'Leary Report asked respondents several questions relating to the healthcare reform issue. Some results:

Asked if they agree or disagree that the federal government should require all Americans to purchase health insurance or face a fine — a provision favored by Democrats — 70.2 percent said they disagree, and only 18.5 percent agree. The rest are not sure.

A resounding 75 percent of respondents said that taxes should not be raised to fund a government-run health insurance program for Americans...

If you make less than 60k a year your company will cancel your plan and pay the 8%. If you make over 60k it will be better for them to keep your plan. There is no provision for your company to give you the premium they were paying with a tax bresk. This plan will screw the middle class Obama is out to “help”.

This came out loud and clear in one of the Beck programs.

You could tell the business owner cared about her employees, but also recognized the $$$ involved in what the Govt would mandate.

P.S. Wonder if the unions will face this situation..... Oh,
they are friends of Barry so likely will be exempted....

Platinum for Federal and state plus unions.

According to the Dems, they oppose it because they’re racists.....................
