American Opinions on Health Care

43% Favor Health Care Plan, 53% Oppose"

I think it's obvious the vast majority of Americans don't want Obamacare. Let's face facts, if you take away the people that will benefit from health care subsidies, you're left with a small percentage of people in the far left that support health care reform. Conversely, the vast majority of people that are against health care reform are average people who are against it based on their ideological values.

I know it would be impossible to poll that, but if you looked at people who are for and against reform based solely on their ideologies and not what the perceived financial impact would be on them, I think you would have 25% of respondents saying they're for health care reform and 75% against.

Glenn Beck had a very interesting chart illustrating how every time Obama doesn't get his way, he resorts to legislative tricks to bypass the checks and balances the constitution provides. Obama likes to say the American people aren't concerned with the process. I think we've woken up, and while that may have been true in the past, I think millions of Americans are now very very interested in the process, and are disgusted by it.
