Support grows for repeal of health care bill

The poll numbers tell the tale:
Three weeks after Congress passed its new national health care plan, support for repeal of the measure has risen four points to 58%. That includes 50% of U.S. voters who strongly favor repeal.
Before its passage, a majority of Americans were against the health care bill. After Democrats ignored voters and jammed it through Congress, Rasmussen's numbers reveal that a majority of Americans now favor repeal:
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party favor repeal. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats are opposed. Republican support for repeal is up eight points from a week ago, while Democratic opposition is down seven.

Ninety-four percent (94%) of those who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement favor repealing the health care bill.
So far Americans appear to be holding firm on their desire to do away with the financial backbreaker that overreaches into their lives. Perhaps their anger at being ignored by Democrats will be seen at the ballot box this November.

Pelosi said "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it."

They passed it.

Now we're finding out what's in it.

Surprised?

Kind of ironic, isn't it? But also disgusting that our Democrat law makers, many who are lawyers, would even consider passing a bill without reading it, much less understanding it.

All my life I've been told, "Be sure and read the fine print."

Anyone who represents us in Washington who doesn't read the fine print should be voted out of office.

I'm working on another post right now regarding this very issue. Hope to have it up soon....
