Only you would bring up some no name polling group who has a history of slanting questions:

"the Commonwealth authors echo fact-free Democratic talking points claiming that Obamacare’s $716 billion in Medicare cuts actually result in “new Medicare benefits.”

so a two-year old attack from a political lackey for Romney's campaign is fact? I note you cannot or won't dare, dispute the actual data.

Sure, it’s easy for the government to spend money and make people happy, but the 800 pound gorilla in the room is what the debt will look like in 20 years, making Iraq look like a fireworks display.

And as the country’s economy continues to decline over the next few decades, more and more people will become eligible for those nice little subsidies.

Meanwhile the real problem of the ungodly cost of healthcare festers on with nobody doing a damn thing about it.

I also love how those bloggers suck this kind of thing up like nectar, I doubt not even one of those people know the facts. Studies, polls and surveys have become the new propaganda.

25% of all who signed up have issues that may prevent them from qualifying. That is 2 million out of the 8 million.

Some are paying for the coverage but don't have it so they are putting off treatments.
A half a million of the 8 million that signed up have citizenship issues another half million have immigration issues in both those cases the issues may disqualify them...(or Obama may find a way to let them in)

And, in a related point to that last issue, the ratio of heavily subsidized applicants to full premium applicants is way out of proportion to the ratio needed to sustain the program.

So hurry up and count those chickens slick they may not be there long.
