According to the populace media (CBS, in this case), ObamaCare is not the "go to" political program that the Democrat Party had hoped it would be.Instead of multipying their policital power, this mess threatens to set their cause back by two decades. And, this could not happen to nicer group of people. .

CBS News:     Skepticism about the health care law extends to both insured and uninsured Americans, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll. Both groups disapprove of the law overall, and while the uninsured are more positive about the law’s personal impact than those with insurance, more still think the law will hurt rather than help them. CBS News and The New York Times interviewed 702 adults who do not have health insurance for this poll. 

Just 15 percent of insured Americans think the health care law will help them personally, but that number rises to 33 percent among the uninsured. Still, more uninsured Americans think the health care law will hurt them (37 percent).  Thirty-two percent of insured Americans say it’ll hurt them.  Overall, 46 percent feel it will have no effect (49 percent of insured Americans, 27 percent of uninsured).

Editor's notes: the point of consideration that might be missed by the conservative press is this:  the fantasy that ObamaCare would have wild,  populace appeal, is beginning to look as if this will not be the case and the survey results,  above,  makes this point.  

Certainly,  if our insurance policies were "better" policies, billed to us at bargain prices while access to our existing doctors and hospitals was being enhanced,  AND,  the whole program actually  reduced the national debt,  well,  of course this would have been a God-send for the Progressive Socialists who dreamed up this legislative mess.   

But the fact of the matter is this:  "ObamaCare" has moved  from the world of promise and theory,  and is now being judged in the real world of "what's happening now."  Therein is the problem.  

The talk show is over, and,  it's star (Barack Obama) is having to deal with stark reality and the reality is this:  millions are being forced off policies they actually preferred; millions are loosing their doctors and preferred hospitals with no recourse;  other millions have had their annual deductible's raised so high as to prevent them from ever using their coverage except in the most catastrophic of illnesses.    

Understand that two-thirds of all those being "signed up" are not going into the insurance exchanges,  but,  instead,  are applying for Medicaid.  The signing dead line is this coming Monday  (Dec. 23).  By that time,  the Administration wanted nearly 3 million enrollees;  they needed close to 1.4 million in order to pay the projected bills.  By contrast  -  and here is where reality meets theory -  the program will not enlist 400,000 on the insurance side.  In fact,  that total is closer to 137,000 as things are being report,  at this time.  

When  NOTHING validates the promises made,  "the people"  -  slow to be critical of Central Planning - notice,  and,  the popularity of the political party and individuals responsible,  pays the price.  

And the problem in all this,  is irresistibly linked to the fact that the Democrats excluded the GOP from the legislative process and, now,  must pay the price as being the only party,  responsible for this disaster.
