If opinions are so favorable why all the death threats? ...many of which we have never seen the likes of before.

How many death threats? 10? Do you realize what a small number that is compared to the people who are involved in the health care debate?

I agree that the opinion polls mean nothing and I have said so several times in this thread, but just because some nut-jobs are making death threats doesn't mean that HCR is unpopular.

I think the polls show a general emotional response.
I think it shows from a personal emotional point - - about a 50/50 split between those who support National Healthcare and those who don't.
It is very unlikely those polled were/are fully or even partly knowledgeable of what was actually passed.

Since no one still has an idea of what is in the bill, and few have still read it, I have to assume the only reason anyone has turned a favorable eye to this:
the drama of the fight is over
the uncertainty has been removed.
Wait until taxpayers find out how much more they will be paying in taxes and premiums.
With so little new information available, I see no reason for the upturn.

Anyone looking to these bozos for direction will be in a frenzied panic without even reading paragraph one.
That's what the bozos are counting on. When they get up there and start talking about the tax burden on "America", they're talking about their own income bracket, but they don't say that. They let the guy who makes $40K think his taxes are going up. They're trying to pass off to the American people that THEY will be the ones paying for this, when in reality, it's the bozos, themselves and the others who are making $500K+ whose taxes are going to go up.
That's why I keep saying that Americans are outraged because they are TOLD by the pundits to be outraged. They believe what Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are passing off to them. It's really sad...

We are raised to believe that we all have an equal chance to become a millionaire or part of the wealthy class but the vast majority of the population never even comes close. And those that are in that top 5-1% do whatever they can to stay in that top bracket. And at the same time they try to convince people that they too have a chance to be that rich. When reality shows a completely different story.
Originally posted by iamcamouflageThis is the same BS that went around when everyone was talking about the Estate(death) tax. They implied that we all get our estates taxed when we die but in reality it was the super rich that were taxed and any estate under, I believe $250k(1.5% of the population) was exempt from this tax.

I agree, but do you see the Dems taking this and running with it? "They're crazy and violent!!"
BUsinesses with with fewer than 50 employees will get tax credits this year covering 35 percent of health care premiums...increased to 50 percent in 2014.
That will certainly help maintain health care premiums...and possibly provide BETTER health care insurance for people...or at the least lower/maintain costs.
