Pew Poll: Opposition To Obamacare Nears All-Time High
Image

And just yesterday we had Pelosi crowing about how Dems “couldn’t be prouder” of the law.

Quote:
Problems with ObamaCare’s rollout are still not changing the public’s wider view of the law, a new survey found.

The Pew Research Center reported Thursday that, while the healthcare reform act remains unpopular, disapproval of the law has not risen over the troubled six-month enrollment period, when criticism has been the most vicious.

In fact, the public appears to be tiring of healthcare news in general. Only 1 in 4 are closely following media reports about how the rollout is going, compared with 37 percent in mid-November, Pew found.

The survey presents insights into the public’s opinion of ObamaCare, just as Republicans are ramping up campaign attacks over the law.

In total, 53 percent disapprove of the Affordable Care Act while 41 percent approve. Opposition is close to its all-time high, but the split has remained remarkably steady since last year.

Top Dem Strategist Pleads With Democrats: “Don’t Defend” Obamacare
Image
Don’t listen to her, Dems!

Quote:
One of the nation’s leading Democratic pollsters and strategists is urging embattled House and Senate incumbents to abandon their defense of Obamacare and instead pledge to “fix it.”

Celinda Lake, whose firm Lake Research Partners provided the Democratic analysis of the new George Washington University Battleground Poll released Tuesday morning, summed up her advice to Democrats when it comes to Obamacare: “Don’t defend it.”

In unveiling the poll, she said that the new Democratic strategy should be for candidates to promise to fix the troubled system while pledging to help keep Americans out of the claws of greedy insurance firms.

“In terms of Obamacare, don’t defend it, say it was flawed from the beginning, and we’re going to fix it,” said Lake at a poll briefing hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

So what will your tea-baggers say to the over 6,000,000 people that have signed up for insurance....Oh...I forgot the repubs mantra..."I got mine..so screw you!"

Obamacare enrollment tops six million
Quote:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 6 million people have now signed up for private insurance plans under President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law known as Obamacare

Quote:
"We are starting to see younger consumers at a higher rate here towards the end of March," said Kevin Kossen, vice president of retail marketing at Health Care Service Corp, a holding company for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Kossen said his company has seen an increase in enrollment over the past two weeks, with more calls to sales centers and online purchases.

A) Wasn't the LOW target number 7,000,000?

B) The 6,000,000 number doesn't count if they have "no way of knowing how many people have actually paid."

House committee accuses Sebelius of ‘misleading’ about not knowing how many paid first-month Obamacare premiums

C) 6,000,000 people lost their insurance when Obamacare kicked in, so it is a washout at best.

How pleased would these facts make you if this had happened under President Bush's Administration?

New AP Polls Finds Just 26% of Americans Support Obamacare
Image
If there are 314 Million Americans, then why haven't 26% of them signed up for Obamacare?

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Public support for President Barack Obama’s health care law is languishing at its lowest level since passage of the landmark legislation four years ago, according to a new poll.

The Associated Press-GfK survey finds that 26 percent of Americans support the Affordable Care Act. Yet even fewer — 13 percent — think it will be completely repealed. A narrow majority expects the law to be further implemented with minor changes, or as passed.

“To get something repealed that has been passed is pretty impossible,” said Gwen Sliger of Dallas. “At this point, I don’t see that happening.”

Sliger illustrates the prevailing national mood. Although a Democrat, she’s strongly opposed to Obama’s signature legislation. But she thinks “Obamacare” is here to stay.

“I like the idea that if you have a pre-existing condition you can’t be turned down, but I don’t like the idea that if you don’t have health insurance you’ll be fined,” said Sliger.

The poll was taken before Thursday’s announcement by the White House that new health insurance markets have surpassed the goal of 6 million sign-ups, so it did not register any of the potential impact of that news on public opinion. Open enrollment season began with a dysfunctional HealthCare.gov website last Oct. 1 but will end Monday on what looks to be a more positive note.

Maryland To Throw In The Towel And Scrap $125 Million Obamacare Exchange Website
Image
How the left can still think single payer is the answer when the government can’t even build a standard e-commerce website is beyond me.

Quote:
With just days to go before open enrollment ends on March 31, Maryland officials are reportedly planning to abandon its glitch-ridden ObamaCare website and replace the health exchange with technology from Connecticut’s marketplace.

The Washington Post reported late Friday that the board of the Maryland exchange will vote on changing the system that has cost at least $125.5 million at a meeting on Tuesday, the day after the end of the first enrollment period under ObamaCare.

Maryland residents will still be able to use the exchange as it is being replaced with technology from the Connecticut exchange, Access Health CT, officials told The Post. The state is expected to tap consulting firm Deloitte for the overhaul.

Maryland’s online health exchange has been bedeviled by computer problems that have made it difficult for people to enroll in private health care plans since its debut Oct. 1. Although improvements have been made, computer problems remain.

Maryland and Connecticut are among several states that have built their own health exchanges. So far, the state says 49,293 Maryland residents have enrolled in private health plans as of last week, far short of the state’s original goal of 150,000 enrollments.

Sen. Barrasso: Obama Regime Has “Cooked The Books” On Obamacare Sign Up Numbers
Image
No real surprise there. Only a certain segment of the population continues to believe Obama's lies...

Right Chuck?

Quote:
A Republican senator said on Sunday that the lack of details about enrollment numbers suggests the Obama administration has “cooked the books.”

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., made his comments just hours before the Monday deadline to enroll and was skeptical of the administration’s most recent enrollment figure of 6 million Americans.

“I don’t think it means anything,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” “They are cooking the books on this.”

Obama Jokes About His Train Wreck Health Care Law: “In 2008 My Slogan Was Yes We Can. In 2013 It Was Control-Alt-Delete”
Image
The millions who had their health plans cancelled probably aren’t laughing.

Quote:
The President’s disastrous launch of Obamacare was at the center of his humorous speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night, as he joked his new slogan was ‘Control-Alt-Delete’.

During his after-dinner speech, the President also joked about rancher Cliven Bundy, hit back at right-wing ‘birther’ theories, and told Fox News they will miss having him as an easy target once his presidency has ended.

The correspondents dinner has become an annual tradition in the nation’s capital, promising a black-tie evening of humor and celebrity gazing.

ObamaCare is working — and the GOP is shifting its attack
Quote:
After pounding Democrats on ObamaCare for the last several years, Republicans have a big problem. The law is working and their message is falling flat.

This was confirmed again by testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday in which health care industry executives surprised Republican lawmakers. They said the law has not led to a government takeover of the industry, that most enrollees are paying their premiums as required, and that premiums are not certain to go up next year as Republicans claim.

OUCH......

Bill Clinton Tells Democrats They Should Run On Obamacare
Image
Yes, listen to Bubba.

Quote:
Bill Clinton encouraged Democrats to run on President Obama’s healthcare law Wednesday, saying it was bringing down the cost of healthcare in the U.S. and that with 8 million people enrolled, “we’re rockin’ along pretty good here.”

Vulnerable Senate Democrats, including in Clinton’s home state of Arkansas, have distanced themselves from the legislation in their reelection campaigns, but Clinton said they should highlight popular aspects of the law while assuring the public that they are focused on fixing the issues that remain.

“What I advise the Democrats to do is talk about the good things that have happened under the bill, acknowledge the problems and say, ‘Let’s do what sensible people would do,’ ” Clinton said. “We had a problem we had to deal with. Albert Einstein couldn’t have done it perfectly the first time. Now let’s set a long-term repair process.”

White House Stop Releasing Obamacare Enrollment Numbers Before Midterm Elections
Image
Nothing this administration does shocks me anymore, although it should.

Quote:
The Obama administration has quietly decided to halt its monthly updates on Obamacare enrollment, which were a major pipeline of information about the impact of the health law heading into the 2014 campaign season. ‘HHS issued monthly enrollment reports during the first marketplace open enrollment period in order to provide the best understanding of enrollment activities as it was taking place,’ an HHS spokeswoman emailed. ‘Now that this time period has ended, we will look at future opportunities to share information about the marketplace that is reliable and accurate over time as further analysis can be done but we do not anticipate monthly reports.’ The agency offered no information about the timing or level of detail in any future updates.
