Hmm interesting
Poll: Most Say High Court Should Reject Health Insurance MandateA new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that more than half of Americans say the Supreme Court should rule that the health overhaul law’s requirement to have health insurance or pay a fine is unconstitutional.
The poll by the nonpartisan foundation found that 54% of those surveyed said the Supreme Court should rule against the mandate while only 17% said the court should uphold it and 29% either didn’t know or didn’t answer.I thought it was going to become popular when passed?
Ahh...more misinformation.
Republican opposition to the Democrats’ 2010 health care overhaul law is intense, with 73% of Republicans having an unfavorable view of it. By contrast, 62% of Democrats view it favorably.
Let's also look at this comment:
The survey also found that most Republican voters don’t agree with the attack on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney that the health care law he signed as governor of Massachusetts is similar to the federal law. Some 30% said they felt Mr. Romney’s views on health care were akin to President Barack Obama’s, but almost half said the former governor’s views are different, and 22% didn’t answer.
It's a shame you Republicans are soooo misinformed. According to
PolitiFact, the Mass law is very, very much like Obamacare:
So are the national health plan and the Massachusetts plan that similar? In a word, Yes.
What's funny is that in this thread, you pass off the Kaiser study as being all about opposition to the individual mandate, which is (duh) far from the truth. The title of the survey is:
Majority Of Americans Think Ideology Will Affect High Court’s Ruling On Health Law
The public doubts the Supreme Court renders judgments based solely on the law. Three-quarters (75%) say they think that, in general, Justices let their own ideological views influence their decisions while 17 percent say they usually decide cases based on legal analysis without regard to politics and ideology. Similarly, when asked specifically about the challenge to the individual mandate in the health reform law, six in ten (59%) Americans say they expect the Justices will take their own ideological views into account, while 28 percent think their decision will be based purely on legal analysis and interpretation.
That is (again, duh) pretty much obvious. Thankfully, the SCOTUS has determined Kagan doesn't need to recuse herself.
