>>I'm curious about that survey. Not saying I don't believe it - you can have many surveys saying different things. But even media outlets that support AHCA have acknowledged that 56-60% of registered voters oppose the individual mandate.
The figures I quoted are specifically about what is happening now. People may be opposed to the idea of Obamacare, but they're also opposed to current tactics to undermine it. Meanwhile millions have taken advantage of Obamacare already. Perhaps more effort should be taken to ask them.
>>There's only one thing in your numbers that I've seen (and believe me, I've looked at many numbers) - close to 10% believe in a single payer system.
Those aren't my numbers and there's nothing about a single payer system in what's going on today.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
