The American people have NEVER been in favor of Obamacare, from the day the Democrats delivered their last bribes to the Senate to get it passed, to today. And the most recent polls show that hasn't changed.

Only when Obama, who signed it into law, ran against Mitt Romney who signed the similar Romneycare into law in Massachusetts, did an Obamacare scheme win an election.

Never mind: The Democrats are determined to impose it on all of us, whether we like it or not.

Poll: Obamacare remains highly unpopular as implementation looms - First Read

Poll: Obamacare remains highly unpopular as implementation looms

By Mark Murray, Senior Political Editor, NBC News

A large number of Americans continue to adamantly oppose the nation’s new health-care law and believe it will produce damaging results, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Forty-four percent of respondents call the health-care law a bad idea, while 31 percent believe it's a good idea -- virtually unchanged from July's NBC/WSJ survey.

By a 45 percent to 23 percent margin, Americans say it will have a negative impact on the country's health-care system rather than a positive one.

The ACA is a classic case of the elected elite completely disregarding those who elected them . They forget that their job is to represent we the people and not their party. It is not a Democrat only problem this is a bi-partican issue that grows worse with every passing election. The hardliners who blindly support the party machine make change impossible.

Let's wait until people actually experience the law to see how they feel about it. Right now, they are just saying what they think about what they have heard. Starting tomorrow, millions of Americans who have been shut out of health insurance will get their first real look at the ACA. Thousands will sign up for insurance and thousands more will do so everyday until millions have signed up by Christmas. And many millions more will realize that, unlike they have been told by some sources, it does not harm them whatsoever. Let's revisit this in three months when people are better informed.

Yes, lot's of truth to your post.

Both parties have a familiar pattern;

1. Pass new laws growing government, government control and government power.
2. Raise taxes to pay for the new government programs.
3. Go back to #1 and repeat.

Government will never voluntarily give up power and control over the people.

Or we could just read the law. But wait, it's 2500 pages with thousands more pages published to explain the 2500 pages. If Pelosi doesn't have time to read it, neither do I.

Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass it to find out what's in it. We did.

And now that it's implementation is almost here, we're finding out.

And its approval ratings have been plummeting.

Oh yeah, we will revisit this! I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when the plan that "costs as much as your cell phone bill" only covers 40% of expenses with a monster deductible!

Millions will be pissed and rightly so.. They will realize they have been had..
