Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled
Fox News ^ | December 1, 2016

Posted on 12/01/2016 4:32:01 AM PST by Zakeet

President-elect Donald Trump is intent on repealing Obamacare, but nearly half of Americans say they aren’t so keen on dismantling the health care reform law.

Some 49% of Americans want Trump and Congress to either expand Obamacare or continue implementing the law as it is, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday.

Another 26% want the entire law repealed, while 17% would like the law scaled back.

Trump and GOP Congressional leaders have said they plan to take up Obamacare’s repeal as soon the incoming president takes office on January 20. They are looking at repealing the law through the budget reconciliation process, which allows Congress to approve measures related to revenue and spending with only a simple majority, rather than 60 votes.

What remains unclear is what would replace Obamacare.

Enough with the fake polls. Only poll that counts is election day

Why should this expression of opinion matter this time? It didn’t matter when it was being passed by the skin of its teeth. No amount of opinion changes the facts about how bad Obamacare is, morally, legally, Constitutionally, or economically.

Heroin addicts want to keep their heroin too until they actually kick the habit.

A lot more people that didn’t want it in the first place.

On election night, Fox reported that an exit poll stated that about 75% of Americans were in favor of amnesty. That was said in conjunction with their belief at that point in time that the election was a blowout for Hillary.

It looks to me like a typical poll with results driven by loaded questions.

It’s worse than that. It say’s “nearly half”.

Headline should read: “More than half of Americans want to dismantle Obamacare”.

My reply? DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO POLLS LET ALONE BELIEVE THEM. Have we not yet learned that polls are not a true measure of public opinion, but instead are a means to drive a Leftist narrative? In other words, they are propaganda.

They will want it dismantled when Congress gets on the stick and shows a better way.

Do not let up on Republicans to fix it.

Sorry for the double negative in my post above...it’s too early, no coffee and need to get off computer to go to work. Sigh.

It was a joy to watch the crestfallen faces of Vagyn Smelly and Sh*t Fume that night.

Are these the same people who gave us estimates in their polls that HIllary was going to win in a LANDSLIDE? Ha. Ha. Ha.

I'd be willing to bet most Americans want these aspects of bammycare:

you can't be dropped

kids can stay on until 26

the subsidies

in other words, they want the "good" stuff....they just don't want to pay for it.

"Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled"

And who determined this tidbit of info.....the pollsters? You mean the same pollsters that predicted a Hillary landslide? The ones that said Trump didn't have a chance? You mean THOSE pollsters? You're actually asking us to believe pollsters again?

Please go away.

Kaiser Permanente basically wrote this law. They do not want to see it changed. This really is a bad article.

That said, it’s not going to be easy to get rid of this thing. The two options for an insolvent insurance scheme are to cut the benefits or raise the premiums, and neither one is very easy to do.

Based on the folks doing the polls, Hillary is our next president.

That would be the ones who don’t pay anything for it.
