There was a choice made, a strategic choice, made by the Democrats to pass ObamaCare even though the majority of Americans were against it. The theory was that with the media on their side and some positive aspects of the plan rolling out early, the law wouldn’t be an issue come election time. They were wrong.
A poll was taken last January in eleven states, competitive states in the upcoming elections, of likely voters. They were asked their thoughts/feelings on ObamaCare. The majority didn’t want it, and they didn’t want the senators from their state who voted for it either. The pollsters went back to the eleven states this past week and found that nothing has changed regarding the thoughts/feelings of ObamaCare. More importantly, Independents say the main reason they are voting in November is because of ObamaCare, they want it repealed. It seems people don’t like things shoved down their throats.
Poll after poll suggests that ObamaCare is in trouble, and that those that voted for it may lose their jobs. The individual mandate, the law forcing everyone to buy health insurance, https://higginscompanies.com/health-insurance/all-bcbs-of-az-plans/, is being challenged on several fronts within the court system. With any luck, and a strong turnout in November, ObamaCare may not survive in it’s current form too much longer.
