ObamaCare Poll Watch: 75 Per Cent Want Health Care Law Changed

Voters overwhelmingly want to see last year’s health care law changed, but there is substantial disagreement about how best to do it.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Likely U.S. Voters want to change the law, while only 18% want it left alone. Those figures include 20% who want the law repealed and nothing done to replace it, 28% who want it repealed and then have its most popular provisions put into a new law and 27% who say leave the law in place but get rid of the unpopular provisions.

It is worth noting that a majority (55%) take one of the middle ground approaches—repeal and replace or leave it and improve.

Voters will likely favor the plan revision that costs THEM the LEAST. This is human nature.

But, the ObamaCare law should be repealed in total first and then new approaches to health care can be added back, if there is political support.

The costs of the law are too great and too much of a drag on employers and business. The economy will NOT improve until ObamaCare is gone – all of it.

Since President Obama will likely veto any total repeal legislation, it may have to wait until after the 2012 Presidential election. In the meantime, the GOP House should refuse to fund the law and hold hearings as to the effects of ObamaCare on the economy.
