Obamacare sets record for unpopularity with public
Finding out what’s in it: A new poll has found that Obamacare, five years after it was passed, is more unpopular now then ever before.
Which is why the Republicans should do nothing to fix it should the Supreme Court rule against Obamacare subsidies in states with no health exchanges, and instead stick with full repeal followed by specific fixes to the previous laws.
I am even more convinced that full repeal is the right political approach after reading this leftwing reporter’s take on the situation. He thinks the above plan is stupid, knows the Democrats and Obama will never agree to it, but also knows that the public does not blame Obamacare in any way on the Republicans. As he notes,
And one of the reasons why Democrats should not assume that a ruling for the plaintiffs in King will totally backfire on Republicans is the cynical, but powerful, source of leverage that Thune is tapping into here: Democrats passed health care reform, and thus Democrats will get blamed for anything bad that happens to the health care system.
The above poll confirms this. The Republicans had better recognize this if they want to take full political advantage of it.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

“Democrats passed health care reform, and thus Democrats will get blamed for anything bad that happens to the health care system.”
That may sound logical and the “poll” verifies it but I would not count on it being so. When a Democrat applies the thinking process to such subjects any actual logic is blocked and the circuit is shorted back on itself when they come to the part where they might have to justify supporting or voting for a Republican or a Republican / Conservative idea.
Might this be a ploy to give the Republicans a feeling of self confidence on the subject? The general public long ago has forgotten from where Obamacare comes and from who’s party, and when a segment of the population has “their” naturally born right to healthcare taken away they will look to the “evil” “greedy” Republicans as the villain and those villains had better be ready with the real deal reasonable solution to that problem.

The American’s do not have chance until they get rid of this kind of thinking and this kind of politician.
“The general public long ago has forgotten from where Obamacare comes and from who’s party.”
I think you are wrong about this. The 2014 midterm elections strongly suggest the public has not forgotten who gave them Obamacare. The name itself makes if hard to forgot who brought this upon us all. And as the law kicks in more and provides more hurt to more people, more people are going to remember.
I should have been a bit clearer in that sentence, the Democrat voting part of the public. They will not be able to put the two together and come out to a reasoned conclusion about Obamacare.
And that brings us to why the Dems are pushing illegal immigration, numbers, numbers, numbers. Grateful and dependent on the Democrat party for their security in this country.
This IMO is the more disturbing poll about how Democrats think and is the indicator for the Democrat inability to think. What true and sane American could justify that an Illegal alien should be able to vote in elections? Apparently a majority of Democrats do. A true sign of insanity.

It would seem that on the trade bill the general public Republicans and Democrats can agree on something.

Do not further empower this president or any other president. Both party’s are in the process of further selling out the American citizen. What a hot mess we have become.
