Poll: Majority of Americans Say Health Care Law Should Stand or be Expanded

expand to public option!!!!!!

THIS IS A POLE CONDUCTED BY THE DEMOCRATIC LIARS, OR MAYBE CONDUCTED IN NORTH KOREA.

To all the seniors who voted for Obama, stop whining about how he raised your medical premiums with higher deductions, copays, and lost your doctors. You got what you voted for. And if you believe this poll, you still haven't learned.

jantiquelilgirl - Obamas healthcare plan don't take effect until 2014. So his plan have nothing to do with your bill. Your still under Bush medical plan. Poll reflect who every taking the poll. If you are on a replublican, democrat, Independent or Tea Party site or paper then you only going to have thier point of view. So you are never going to get an accurate answer.

I find it amazing that the so-called Republican can think that they and their children will not one day loose everything and become dependent on the same system they don't want in place to help those who need it. You are like the bums who wrote the constitution and made it ok to enslave my people. Don't forget that Rome too ruled the world and Greece, but look at them now. Your turn always comes and what you plant?

In reading the comments on this board, it just shows how complicated it all is and no one really understands it. There are so many crazy opinions on the subject, no wonder people have such strong feelings one way or the other. I do not believe in throwing out the bill, but making changes along the way. It's a beginning of what this country HAD to do or healthcare costs would bring this country down. Everyone agrees on that. It's a start, so lets not throw the baby out with the bath water!!

I have been forced into the medicare system when I turned 65 my benefits are down my cost have risen I pay $300.00 for my medicare I am a heart patient and my medicine is costly so I am in the donut hole within 3 months of the new year so I have to buy my medicine at a cost of $600-$800 every 3 months my supplement is $150.00 and now my wife's insurance is $500.00 a month our insurance was a total of $850.00 My cost for health insurance is now $400.00 a month more. I do not believe any poll that says more americans want this system noone wants this system we are not that stupid.

I think it is a good idea to have people take responsiblity for themselves, isnt that the mantra of the conservatives and republicans that people should have to pay there own way and provide for themselves. I for one do not want to pay for other people health insurance or the emergency room visits because the insurance companies and hospitals tack on the cost of the uninsured to the paying insured just like underinsured motor insurance. We pay extra to cover people who drive without insurance. I have coworkers who do not have insurance because they cant afford it and I would be more that willing to pay a little extra so that they can get affordable insurance.

Ihave to agree with jdwlor on this. The law makes us carry auto and home insurance to cover for other people's losses if we screw up. But Heath insurance is the one kind that really could and probibly wii save you life in your time of greatest need. I live in NJ which has the highest insurance rates in the country (at least for auto). I bet if we did not have to pay those bill more of us could actually afford heath insurance, but by law we have to have them. One thing I hope that will come of all this is that maybe if more people had issurance hospitals would not charge so much for their services. they charge more they need toespecialy if people have insurance becuse they know that people with out it wont bay their bills and they are tring to recoup their losses on the backs of people with insurance. Mabey the ricing cost of heath care will finally leval out if everyone was paying into the system and less people were sponging off chearity care.

NO ONE read the 2,000 page health care trillion dollar bill or 30,000 pages of rules and amendments. We have only heard bits and pieces. 26 yr olds get to stay on their parents insurance. You can't be denied for pre existing conditions, etc. but what of all the stuff you haven't read like counseling for all divorcing couples, all drug addicts, 50 czars for each state and more for our territories ruling over medical personnel; how many hospitals, how much staff, etc. What happens when they take those 16,500 IRS agents to look into your bank accounts to see why you didn't pay your bill, then get a bill if you made too much, etc. You have to know what the bill says completely before you are for or against it. Remember it was written by staff and never placed on the web before signature.
