OMG!

A recent CNN poll finds that 39 percent of Americans favor Obamacare, while 57 percent oppose it.

That’s awful, right?


WRONG!


"...it turns out:

39 percent oppose the law because it’s “too liberal,” while

39 percent FAVOR Obamacare  AND

12 percent say it “isn’t liberal enough.”

THEREFORE:

51 percent favor the law or don’t think it goes far enough.

"And if you peek into the internals, it turns out that Republicans and conservatives are the only groups who oppose Obamacare as too liberal."  h/t daily kos

The Obamacare Recovery Continues: Now Up To 4.2 Million Sign-Ups




"...more concrete figures about how many Americans are benefitting under Obamacare are continuing to emerge. 

Gallup estimated Monday that the number of uninsured had dropped by three to four million people since the law's coverage took effect in January. 

So Republicans are confronting a new political reality: Any more votes for wholesale repeal can be equated with stripping health coverage from millions of people." --TPM




"It's remarkable how low America places in health care efficiency: among the 48 countries included in the Bloomberg study, the U.S. ranks 46th, outpacing just Serbia and Brazil. 

Once that sinks in, try this one on for size: the U.S. ranks worse than China, Algeria, and Iran. But the sheer numbers are really what's humbling about this list: the U.S. ranks second in health care cost per capita ($8,608), only to be outspent by Switzerland ($9,121) -- which, for the record, boasts a top-10 health care system in terms of efficiency. 

Furthermore, the U.S. is tops in terms of health care cost relative to GDP, with 17.2 percent of the country's wealth spent on medical care for every American. 

In other words, the world's richest country spends more of its money on health care while getting less than almost every other nation in return."


The Republicans in the House recently voted for the 50th time to repeal the A.C.A. They apparently are proud of the U.S.A.'s shameful place in the community of advanced nations in how it delivers health care coverage efficiency for its sick citizens:  BOTTOM OF THE LIST!  And want to keep it that way.

Congratulations, GOP, in your efforts to keep the U.S.A.'s health care delivery system on par with a Third World, or worse, country.



Meanwhile, the woman who claimed her health insurance costs went UP under the A.C.A., Julia Boonstra, was WRONG.  

Here's the latest on that shameful propaganda stunt.
