Democrats: Americans Who Dislike ObamaCare Are Stupid

Health Care: Democrats used to say the more people knew about ObamaCare, the more they'd like it. Well, the public has had almost two full years to soak it in, and more want it repealed than ever.

A Quinnipiac University poll last week found 52% of Americans want ObamaCare scrapped. That's up from 44% last May. Meanwhile, just 39% want to keep it, down from 45%. Even one in five Democrats now says Congress should repeal the law.

That hasn't kept liberals from calling ObamaCare foes idiots, which is what Democratic party head Debbie Wasserman Schultz did when asked about the poll.

'Americans only oppose ObamaCare because they "didn't know" about its many benefits. "The pieces of health care reform, when you ask Americans about them, they overwhelmingly support them," she said.

Democrats have fed a credulous media that line since they shoved the law down our throats in 2010.

Obama pollster Joel Benenson promised "once reform passes, the tangible benefits Americans will realize will trump the fear-mongering rhetoric opponents are stoking today."

David Axelrod said that "health care, over time, is going to become more popular."

And, of course, who can forget Nancy Pelosi's declaration that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

 

Turns out, the more Americans know about ObamaCare, the less they like it. And for good reason.

They now know that ObamaCare will, for the first time ever, force Americans to buy a government-approved product merely because they have a pulse.

They know ObamaCare means the stark politicization of health care — as witnessed most recently by Obama's brazen attempt to use the law to force the Catholic Church to pay for "free" contraception.
They know it will mean endless benefit mandates, driving up insurance premiums for everyone.
They know that once ObamaCare takes effect in 2014, their employers will likely dump them into government-run "exchanges" to avoid those higher premiums.

Most of all, they know the meager benefits ObamaCare provides will be crushed under the weight of higher costs, worse quality, a massive expansion in government dependence, and bureaucratic bloat.

What Americans may not know, however, is that there is no chance ObamaCare will ever be repealed unless they vote Obama out of office in November.
