Kaiser Health Tracking Poll -- February 2011 Excerpts:
In the wake of the health reform repeal vote in the U.S. House and the ongoing legal challenges over the individual mandate, nearly half the country either believes that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been repealed and is no longer law (22 percent) or doesn’t know enough to say whether it is still law (26 percent). Roughly half of Americans (52 percent) accurately report that the ACA is still the law of the land.
48 percent of Americans are either wrong, or don't know enough to be wrong about Health Care Reform even being a law. That's fucked up. You can agree or disagree with a bill or law on its merits; that's your right. Your responsibility is learning as much unbiased information you can, and acting accordingly. Again, agree, disagree with Health Care (This time, of course. Insert next "National Issue" here..), but do the rest of us a solid by at least knowing what you're talking about before you start talking.. Would it be so bad if we all stepped up our game and brought back some.. Some.. Discourse? And "Discourse" cannot be without "Educated Response."
