You Won’t Believe Just How Many Americans Are Having Regrets About ObamaCare

February 14, 2014

Even though Democrat leadership has vowed its candidates this election cycle will “stand tall” with President Obama on his signature health care law, they’ll be hard pressed to find hard-working Americans across the country who share their sentiments.

As the Obama Administration continues to inflate numbers and downplay the disastrous effects of ObamaCare, the troubling facts and countless horror stories paint a more complete picture of just how “successful” the health care law really is.

According to a new Fox News poll, over half of Americans are now feeling regretful that ObamaCare passed, and believe that the President’s health care law is more about a chance to expand the government’s control over our daily lives than it is to provide affordable, quality care to Americans.

Two thirds polled said they believed that ObamaCare never would have passed if the disastrous effects that people all across the country are experiencing now had been known back then.

Furthermore, only 9 percent of people say that they are better off because of this law.

And finally, 76 percent of those surveyed say that the Obama Administration has mismanaged the implementation of the law.

It seems Democrats are the only ones still defending this failed law, even though an overwhelming number of Americans blame ObamaCare for their recent health care woes.

From Fox News:

Over half of American voters regret that the Affordable Care Act passed, and nearly two-thirds say it never would have — if we knew then what we know now.

In addition, more than half think the health care law will ultimately be bad for the country, and that it’s more about the government controlling our lives than getting Americans health care.

Fifty-five percent of voters wish the health care law had never passed.  That includes majorities of young people under age 30 (55 percent) and those with annual household incomes under $50,000 (52 percent), as well as more than a quarter of Democrats (28 percent)

The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with 1,006 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from February 9-11, 2014.  The full poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
