Obamacare Is Even More Unpopular Now than in 2010
Weekly Standard ^ | OCT 29, 2012 | JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

One week before the election that will likely determine Obamacare’s fate, Americans support its repeal by an even wider margin than they did in the immediate aftermath of its highly unpopular passage.

According to newly released polling from Rasmussen Reports, by a margin of 15 percentage points (54 to 39 percent), likely voters now support the repeal of President Obama’s centerpiece legislation. In the first three polls taken in the wake of the House’s passage of Obamacare (on March 21, 2010), Rasmussen showed that likely voters then favored repeal by margins of 13 points (55 to 42 percent), 12 points (54 to 42 percent), and 12 points (54 to 42 percent). Cementing Obamacare would be the principal focus of Obama’s second term.

Odds on it actually being repealed?

It’s benefit enrollment season. The promises of lower premiums are proven wrong on every health insurance mailer sent out.

My best three guesses:

1.) When Traitor John Roberts resigns.
2.) When RINOs actually BELIEVE that they have run out of our money.
3.) When the RINOs and the Democrats lose their control of the US House and Senate.

Probabilities out of 100 are 0.00000001, 0.001, and 100.00000000000000, respectively.

Yep! Just a new tool to eliminate the "undesirables" - you know, conservatives, Christians, etc. - people that don't toe the liberal line.

“The promises of lower premiums are proven wrong on every health insurance mailer sent out.”

Not only that, my employer has closed the enrollment, meaning, if you’re not in, you’re not getting in unless there is a “qualified event.”

Costs went up significantly, but there is a discount given for those who want to submit to certain invasive screenings offered by the company.

The company controllers are freaking trying to comprehend the ultimate costs to the company this monstrosity will compel.

Romney said it would be his #1 priority, it has to be repealed, since it's taxes will crush the economy.
