From Rasmussen comes the latest survey data, which shows that a majority of likely voters have consistently favored the repeal of the massive regulatory nightmare known as Obamacare. 

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 52%  favor repeal of the law, while 42% are opposed. This includes 41% who Strongly Favor repeal and 33% who are Strongly Opposed to it.

 

JLF’s Agenda 2012 lays out key facts about Obamacare:

  • 2011 estimates indicate PPAA will add 15 million people to Medicaid rosters across the country, and 500,000 in North Carolina.
  • Candidate Obama promised that health care premiums would go down by $2,500 by the end of the first year.
  • President Obama now acknowledges that insurance premiums will rise 10-13 percent on average by 2016, and 17 percent for young healthy individuals.
  • PriceWaterhouseCoopers has projected that health care spending for 2013 will increase by 7.5 percent, more than three times the projected rates for inflation and economic growth.
