Here is another reality check for the Tea Party and the Republican rabid rightwingers frothing at the mouth over repealing Obama's healthcare law.
Bottom line is Americans want to go nowhere near repealing or de-funding ObamaCare. They want to require everyone to carry healthcare insurance but are divided on how to enforce it. And obviously Americans, thank God, are not biting on the foolish claims by the wingnut right that ObamaCare is ushering in socialism or communism.
______________________________________________
The Republican governors threaten to kill Obama's healthcare law by defunding it.
In the latest poll Americans oppose de-funding the healthcare law 55% to 35%
In another poll it was 61% to 34% against de-funding it.
______________________________________________
Republicans claim they will repeal ObamaCare or replace it with their own plan.
In the latest poll Americans favor keeping the law or even expanding it - 50% to 39%.
In contrast to the negative media hype Americans actually favor expanding the law as compared to just keeping the new healthcare law as it is. The 50% is made up of 20% keeping it as is and 30% expanding upon it. Wow!
______________________________________________
The American people believe Democrats will handle healthcare reform better than the Republicans by - 44% to 31%.
Republicans don't even care enough to try and they won't even though the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office which has been the bipartisan agreed final arbiter forever, says with ObamaCare the deficit will be reduced by a quarter trillion dollars and with out it the deficit will suffer a quarter trillion more dollars in red ink. Republicans are scarred to death that should ObamaCare become effective in 2014 the truth about the law will become clear making the Democrats difficult to beat. They care more about that than they do you or the deficit but by now you should already know that.

This flys in the face of the Republicans hyperactive opposition to everyone being required to carry health insurance
In the latest poll Americans favor 50% to 46% requiring everyone to carry health insurance
Americans have a different reaction when you add the word "fine" but how do you require something without penalties. You put it in taxes and thats how they will do it, not write you a ticket. Gotta articulate this one out.
______________________________________________
On the most important key points of keeping ObamaCare alive and funded Americans are clearly in support.

So Gingrich,Palin,Limbaugh,Beck,Pawlenty,etc., put this in your pipe and smoke it!
