However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data.
Hey! Michael Moore says it's a winner!
The Dems have cherry-picked the polls, saying the public supports getting rid of preexisting conditions—and that’s in the bill—they support having choice of plans—and that’s in the bill etc. But what they refuse to face is that despite the flagrant lies by the president, Pelosi and Reid, the public CORRECTLY infers this will increase health care costs (the government’s own actuaries concur with this judgment) and it will add to the national deficit (Paul Ryan has skillfully demonstrated that HONESTLY SCORED, the bill would add $430 billion to the deficit in its first 10 years and 1.4 trillion in the second).
Thus, taken as a whole, the public firmly rejects this monstrosity—an inconvenient truth ignored by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid as they drive the bus off the cliff in this Thelma and Louise moment.
