Subject: RE: BS: Republican response to Health Reform
"From the Washington Examiner's Mark Tapscott we learn that CNN commissioned Opinion Research to conduct a survey on ObamaCare over the weekend during the run-up to the Democrats pushing the bill through the U.S. House of Representatives. The results of the poll are out, and they plainly demonstrate that the votes of 219 House Democrats are a slap in the faces of a clear majority of Americans:

Here are the major initial points of interest in the CNN/OR results:

      · 59% oppose the Democrats' health care bill, while only 39% favor it.

    · 70% say the federal budget deficit will go up under the Democrats' health care bill; only 12% believe it will go down.

    · 56% say the bill creates "too much government involvement in the nation's health care system," 28% say about the right amount, while 16% say not enough.

      · 62% say they'll pay more for medical care under the Democrats' health care bill.

      · 47% say they and their families will be worse off under the Democrats' health care bill; 33% say things will be about the same, and only 19% think they'll be better off.

      · 45% say seniors on Medicare will be worse off; 34% say things will be about the same, and only 20% think they'll be better off.

The Democrats' latest argument is that the more the American public learns about ObamaCare, the more they will come to like it. The results of this poll argue otherwise. American already know quite a lot about ObamaCare, and three of every five of them don't like it at all."
