According to a recent poll conducted by CBS (surprisingly, as CBS rarely seems honest in their reporting and are often quite left-leaning), the majority of Americans are against the recent Healthcare Reform Bill that was passed through Congress.
Now, 53% of Americans say they disapprove of the new reforms,
including 39% who say they disapprove strongly. On the eve of passage
of the historic bill in Congress, 37% said they approved and 48%
disapproved.
APPROVAL OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL
22 March 2010

NOW
Approve 32%
Disapprove 53%
Republicans and independents remain opposed to the reforms, and
support has dropped some among Democrats. Now 52% of Democrats
approve of the new reforms, a drop from 60% just before the bill was
passed by Congress.
Less than one in five Americans thinks the new health care reforms
will help them personally – unchanged since before the vote in
Congress. 36% think the new reforms will hurt them, while 39% think
they will have little effect.
In reading this poll and other reports that have been oozing out, I am still trying to figure out why it passed. If the majority of Americans were against this bill, why was Washington not listening? Oh that's right, apparently they can do whatever they want, since we were the ones who elected them. Hmm... Remember this in November, folks.
I don't think I'm alone when I say that the majority of America DOES in fact, want Healthcare for all. Seriously, who would try and stop all Americans from being covered by Healthcare. I want America to be a happy and healthy place for all. But, the problems that I have with *this* particular bill, extensively outnumber any positives that I can see coming out of this bill.
What do you think? Where do you fall in the poll that CBS released?
