A just-released New York Times poll finds President Obama "is going into the fall having retained considerable political strength. At 56%, his job approval rating is down from earlier in the year but still reasonably strong at this point compared with recent presidents."

However, "an intense campaign" by the president to rally support behind his health care plan "appears to have done little to allay concerns about the proposal."

Nonetheless the poll suggests that Obama "is in a decidedly more commanding position than Republicans on this issue as Congressional negotiations move into their final stages. Most Americans trust Mr. Obama more than Republicans to make the right decisions on the issue; 76 percent said Republicans had not even laid out a clear health care plan."

"And by a lopsided margin, respondents said that Mr. Obama and not Republicans had made an effort to cross party lines and strike a deal that has the support of both parties. Two-thirds of respondents said they wanted Congress to come up with a bill supported by both sides."

What is it with you and "Free" healthcare?
This is a DAILY issue with you. Go out and BUY some, like the majority of Americans, vs. holding out for a handout.

What a fucking welfare case.

So 76% of the people polled don't even know the Republicans have presented three separate Health Care bills. Maybe because the paper doing the poll never let their readers know they existed.

But the GOP is going to be branded as trying to derail the legislation by being uncooperative.

Funny you would discredit the Washington Examiner and then cite the New York Times poll that has Obama's approval rating 5% higher than anyone else. You are no different that what you accuse me of.

It's the strawman philosophy. Make an extreme statement in an attempt to justify doing nothing.

All these bills make people save and pay - creating incentive to work hard. Hell, most will certainly have to start budgeting for healthcare when they did not in the past. A $10,000 cap on out of pocket is a lot for 70% of American families.

The difference is, the reform will drop health related bankrupcies to near 0%. Nobody's life will be ruined.

These simple-minded do nothings will go down in history in much the same way the anti Medicare people did in 1965 - forgotten.

Their lives were headed to the toilet as they were already living beyond their means when the medical bills hit.

Multiple sites makes very little difference if they all send the same message.
