Obamacare poll shows that the sheeple are waking up

Folks who thought Obamacare was going to be a good thing are now getting the wake up call.  Those who have no health care insurance and saw this as a government-driven something for nothing play in order to get some have figured out that businesses are not powerless in this matter and that they will move swiftly in order to protect their own interests.  The main impact so far has been the curtailment of new hiring of the lower end jobs as well as turning full time positions into part time positions of less than 30 hours per week in order to get around the regulations.  Those who used to be able to make ends meet on their full time job now have to go through the pain and reduction of efficiency of finding a 2nd job to fill the gap.  So much for thinking that government can mandate prosperity or a better lifestyle.

Those who were told they can keep their current plan are figuring out that was a lie as well.  The goal of Obamacare is not to provide health care but rather to control all the money flow of the economy.  This concentrates power in the hands of the few at the cost of the masses.  The few will ensure they get quality services for themselves while forcing everyone else to enroll in a POS government controlled, bureaucracy laden system which is already sending our best, most experienced doctors heading for the door.  To replace them we will get non English speaking folks with questionable medical credentials from 3rd world $hitholes.  A reduction in quality of service is completely guaranteed by Obamacare.
As a result of people waking up to the reality, the current polls are showing people are strongly against this hugely overstepping law.  To the left is a Newsmax poll that I just participated in.  It requires you to input your email address and it sends you an email that you have to respond to in order to have your vote counted or to see the results. 

While it is a small poll, I think that it is probably pretty accurate because the voting system used disallows easy multiple voting by individuals.  Almost 90% of the people want out of the Obamacare law.  As the deadline approaches and as nobody has figured out all the rules (the text of the law is longer than the Bible) and as the IRS begins to tax people who have chosen to not pay for medical coverage I think we will see a large backlash against this unconstitutional consumption mandate. 

Things have been relatively quiet so far only because the implementation of the law has not occurred yet.  Like all herding species, the herd does little until the lives of enough herd members are affected.  The herd is not forward looking at all.  The herd reacts in real time based on proven threats or benefits.  It's not stupidity, it is simply the herding strategy.  It is very effective much of the time.  Unfortunately, some of the time it is wildly unsuccessful as all of the lemmings plunge off the side of the cliff.
