They’re going to be waiting a long time:
Democrats have been waiting for ObamaCare to become popular for four years.
And counting.
Congressional leaders and senior White House advisers have been saying since 2010 that public opinion will turn their way sometime soon. Be patient, they have told anxious members of their party again and again.
…ObamaCare helped catapult Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) to the speakership of the House, and demolished dozens of Democratic political careers.
Democrats now face the prospect of a second midterm drubbing in 2014, and the healthcare law is even more unpopular than it was last time around.
According to a Pew survey released last week, 53 percent of the public disapproves of the Affordable Care Act, with only 41 percent saying they approve. Opinions were split almost evenly in the fall of 2010 before the Republican wave election, which Obama called a “shellacking.”
Adding to the nervousness among ObamaCare’s advocates is the fact that enrollment numbers lag significantly behind the administration’s original estimates.
The Democrats nationalized 1/6th of our economy and forced the cancellation of close to 5 million policies and they wonder why its unpopular? Obama can continue to give the finger to the Constitution by pushing back the deadline dates for this and that but sooner or later the youth will be forced to pay heavy bills and fines. Think its unpopular now?
Hell, they can only claim a little over 3 million have signed up for ObamaCare and a little over half of those 3.3 million who did sign up were already covered by Medicare anyways.
What was the most frequent reason for not signing up for ObamaCare?
“I could not afford to pay the premium.”
I recall a few people saying this would happen. But did anyone listen?
Nope.
And its only going to get worse.

All that a person has to do is reverse the name of ANY bill introduced by a democrat, and you will have it’s true purpose. If you reverse the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, you will have it’s true purpose: The Forced Ripoff and Unaffordable Care Conspiracy.
Unpopular?? You’re kidding me right? But, But…
I distinctly remember Pelosi flapping her gums on how GREAT this Bill was and how THE AMERICAN PEOPLE have SPOKEN – I remember her introducing many members of various (democratic) committees and they had all ‘expressed their JOY’ at having brought such an important piece of legislation to the table FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. sarcasm mine
I remember Pelosi then, and now expressing how we can ‘all’ pursue our ‘dreams’ without having to worry about whether or not (you) have healthcare….you can become an artist…everyone can become an artist if they want…you can have a pet unicorn too…. sarcasm mine
And, I love that (signature Pelosi) line – ‘the American people have spoken.’
Remember, our whole healthcare system was turned upside down because the ‘argument’ was at the time ” there are 30 Million people without access to healthcare in America”‘…more liberal socialism shoved down our throats as a lie. Why, if that was the argument then, are there so “few” of the American People who wanted this so badly have signed up? Where are those 30 ++ Million people now?
Can anyone say Government Ponzi Scheme ? Government – Power – Control over YOU?

I forgot to list the biggest Ponzi Scheme of all: obama
“But wait, there’s more!”
In yet another unconstitutional alteration of the ACA law, Obama has extended the deadline for those who start to file online before the deadline but who are are experiencing problems making them unable to get signed up by the deadline.
Gee, what if you still don’t get signed up in time? No worries, just use the 14 double secret Opt-Out Hardship Exemptions to the Individual Mandate:
Oopsy, looks like Obama made a little secret backdoor loophole to protect ‘in-the-know’ lefties from being penalized by the IRS.
