Mudbrain, you're comparing the greatest expansion in access to health care in 50 years to slavery? You're not a serious person, Mudbrain. It's not worth my time to "debate" you as you're just a run-of-the-mill ideologue operating on a single-minded objective of defending Republicans and trashing Democrats regardless of facts and truth. "If it's such a good law, then why did Congress exempt themselves (sic)?" Uh, they didn't. If you'd try reading something other than IDIOTIC right-wing propaganda then you'd know that. But that's a bridge too far for the ol' simpleton, Mudbrain! http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2011/12/08/congress-exempted-from-obamacare/ You're a CLOWN!

Poll: Majority Says Federal Government Shouldn't Be Responsible for Healthcare

Since most of the data in post-election polling has offered little beyond a parade of ugly news, here's a glimmer of hope from Gallup:

For the first time in Gallup trends since 2000, a majority of Americans say it is not the federal government's responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Prior to 2009, a majority always felt the government should ensure healthcare coverage for all, though Americans' views have become more divided in recent years...Republicans, including Republican-leaning independents, are mostly responsible for the drop since 2007 in Americans' support for government...
