Big Majority Wants to Keep Obamacare
A new Bloomberg National Poll finds 53% of Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act.
Nonetheless, 56% favor keeping the law with perhaps "small modifications," while 10% would leave it as is. That's the highest level of acceptance yet.

(23,946 posts)I am not making that up. The corporate class is getting very upset with the actual polling, so they resort to deception for their own soothing.
Read it and weep at another salvo in the Propaganda War -

(36,392 posts)Corporate healthcare has become popular. The corporations played the people like Clapton plays a strat. For those who claimed it would "lead to single payer" - were you bullshitting yourselves or were you bullshitting the rest of us?

(1,250 posts)The hardest part was even getting the notion of National Health Care established.
Now that we have some semblance of that, the next step would be to get single payer in there.
It's like anything. Give 'em a taste of the good stuff until you got 'em hooked then they'll be ready for the real deal.
Obamacare opposition has collapsed.
Those jackasses have moved on to villifying Hillary for the most part only throwing futile lobs at Obama with the Bergdahl nonsense.
When Republican voters tell their Republican representatives to "Keep your government hands off my Obamacare", it's a wrap.
Their greatest fear is here.
Kentuckians against Obama are oblivious that Kynect is part of Obamacare & they want to keep Kynect.
It's over.
A few years of this & then the public will be ready for the real thing.
The reason you have to go through this unnecessary extra step is because the Republican Party exists.
The Confederate descendants who make up the body of the Republican Party, that's why you gotta do this dumb stuff.
If you want a more direct way to progress, we are going NOWHERE until the Republican Party is DESTROYED.
The Confederates must lose their organizing body so that they lose the ability to influence the national conversation on issues.
I once thought Yosemite Sam was an exaggerated caricature for comedy purposes.
Nah, it was social commentary. Looney Tunes was ahead of their time.
These are a bunch of Yosemite Sams running around shooting crazy into the air mad at the varmints.
They're gonna have to be shut down once & for all.
This country didn't finish the job in the 1860s, it didn't finish the job in the 1960s.
And you let this problem fester & get stronger. This is what happens.
This country must become poisonous for the Confederates.
This must no longer be a place where they belong.
It will either force them to change & adapt or leave & get the hell out.
Destroy the Republican Party, scatter & weaken the Confederates.
Then things like single payer & gun control won't be so hard to put on the table.
