Majority of Voters Want the Health Care Law Repealed

60% Believe Health Care Law Will Increase Deficit, 58% Favor Repeal

Rasmussen Reports: says, "Support for repeal of the recently-passed national health care plan remains strong as most voters believe the law will increase the cost of care, hurt quality and push the federal budget deficit even higher."

The latest April 24-25, 2010 Rasmussen Reports national survey finds:
58% of likely voters nationwide favor repeal
38% are opposed.
60% of voters nationwide believe the new law will increase the federal budget deficit
19% say it will reduce the deficit
57% think the law will increase the cost of health care
18% believe it will reduce costs
51% expect the quality of care to decline
24% predict it will get better

Support for repeal is proving to be just as consistent as opposition to the plan before it was passed into law.

Rasmussen also identified that there is a huge gap between the Political Class and Mainstream Americans on the new health care law: 82% of Political Class voters oppose repeal while 71% of Mainstream American voters take the opposite view and favor repeal.

And we wonder why are elected politicians and staffs are out of touch with the people. They don't care and they refuse to listen.
The More the Public Learns, the More They Want It Repealed!
What Was Billed As “The Largest Middle Class Tax Cut” Actually “Will Go Directly To Insurers”
PRESIDENT OBAMA: “It's Also Important To Note That The New Health Reform Law Includes The Largest Middle Class Tax Cut For Health Care In History, and once it's implemented; millions of Americans will finally be able to purchase quality, affordable care and the security and peace of mind that comes with it.” (President Obama, Weekly Radio Address, 4/10/10)

IRS: “The Health Care Subsidies Will Go Directly To Insurers, Not Taxpayers” “The IRS does a poor job of managing social programs. … In tax year 2006, the latest year available, IRS made $10 billion to $12 billion in erroneous EITC [Earned Income Tax Credit] payments, according to a study by the Treasury Department's inspector general. IRS officials argue that the two programs are vastly different. The health care subsidies will go directly to insurers, not taxpayers, giving individuals little incentive to cheat, says IRS spokesman Frank Keith.” (“IRS Lacks Clout To Enforce Mandatory Health Insurance,” USA Today, 4/29/10)
