Healthy Living: Obamacare, The Emperor Has No Polls

Yup, once again it's time for the Political Corner on Healthy Living.  It's tough to keep up with the wall of news and developments that come out daily on the impending collapse of Obamacare.  Yes, it's the law of the land (as Democrats love to remind us) but it's also a double-edged sword that will, IMO, come back to haunt the Dems down the road.  There are some early signs that president Obama and his minions will ultimately reap and receive their just desserts.  In this case those desserts aren't so sweet.
A series of recent Fox News Polls of registered voters taken between Dec. 14th and 16th showed that the president's popularity is hitting all time lows as the Obamacare sign-up continues and the realities of how the A.C.A is going to hit the average person's wallet become clearer. Here are the results of recent Fox News polls taken which focus on president Obama's trustworthiness and the likability of his health care law:

1. "Is president Barack Obama honest and trustworthy"?  In April of 2009 73% of respondents said yes, while that number had dropped to 45% by December of 2013.
2. "Should the implementation of the A.C.A. be delayed for a year"?  In October 57% of respondents said yes, while that number has risen to 67% in December.  
3. When asked in mid-December, "are you glad that the health care law passed"? 54% responded that they wished it hadn't passed. 

These polls show a continuing decline in the support for the president and his healthcare policy.  Add to that that he is losing the support of young people between the ages of 18 and 29, (see Pew Poll cited in an earlier post) and he has the makings of a real implosion of the A.C.A. in the first quarter of 2014.  The remaining question is; if the A.C.A. is hurting millions of middle class families with policies they don't want and at monthly payments and deductibles they can't afford, why would he insist on pushing this law forward?

One can only conclude that the A.C.A. is not, and never was about, health care.  It's about control of the American people (18% of the U.S. economy).  If Obama truly did not want to injure the American people, he would delay the program to give relief to families and allow the program to get its act together.  The fact that he is plowing ahead with no compromise tells us everything; and that everything is that he and his regime want to ultimately force us into a single payer system, from which there will be no return.

If, like me, you find this scenario chilling, call your representative and make your feelings and concerns known.  Even if you have Democrat representatives, they should know the will of the people and what repercussions going against them may have in the 2014 elections.  Make your voice heard.
