From Rasmussen:
Following President Obama’s speech to Congress last week, support for his health care reform plan increased steadily to a peak of 51% yesterday. However, the bounce appears to be over. The latest daily tracking shows that support has fallen all the way back to pre-speech levels.
Forty-five percent (45%) of all voters nationwide now favor the plan while 52% are opposed. A week ago, 44% supported the proposal and 53% were opposed.
The problem with the President’s plan is that its utter nonsense, and people know it – you can’t increase coverage and control costs; you can’t mandate new requirements while keeping doctors and patients in control; you can’t bring in 30 million more people and not add a penny to the deficit…you can’t do what Obama says he wants to do, and every time he reiterates his plan, he looks more like a fool, or a con man.
Its time to start concentrating on reforming health care – in other words, working out ways and means to ensure access to the sort of care people need; care for chronic and catastrophic illnesses and means of lowering the cost of insurance by increasing competition in the insurance industry…grand plans to re-work the whole system are unworkable and not worthy of serious consideration.
