A majority of Americans want the Congress to keep the new health care law or actually expand it, despite Republican claims that they have a mandate from the people to kill it, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

The post-election survey showed that 51 percent of registered voters want to keep the law or change it to do more, while 44 percent want to change it to do less or repeal it altogether.

Driving support for the law: Voters by margins of 2-1 or greater want to keep some of its best-known benefits, such as barring insurers from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. One thing they don't like: the mandate that everyone must buy insurance.

At the same time, the survey showed that a majority of voters side with the Democrats on another hot-button issue, extending the Bush era tax cuts that are set to expire Dec. 31 only for those making less than $250,000.

Health Care Law:
57% Favor Repeal of Health Care Law

Monday, November 22, 2010:

Most voters continue to favor repeal of the national health care law, and they remain almost evenly divided over whether the law will force them to change their own health insurance coverage.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% favor repeal of the health care law passed by Congress in March, with 47% who Strongly Favor it. Thirty-nine percent (39%) oppose repeal, including 29% who are Strongly Opposed. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
These figures are little changed from last week and support for repeal has remained constant for months. In weekly tracking since the bill became law, voter support for repeal has ranged from 50% to 63%.
Among those who voted earlier this month, 59% favored repeal of the health care law.
Forty-three percent (43%) of voters think passage of the health care law makes it at least somewhat likely that they will have to change their current health insurance, with 23% who say it is Very Likely. Forty-six percent (46%) disagree and think a forced change is unlikely, including 18% who say it is Not At All Likely. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.
This is comparable to findings just before Election Day and reveals a slightly higher level of concern about the possibility of forced change than voters expressed for several months prior to that.

According to a recent Tomme73 poll, 100% of Americans polled want to see the health care reform law repealed. The biggest reason: it's unconstitutional, i.e., forcing all Americans to purchase government-regulated insurance OR pay Big Brother. Thanks, but NO THANKS.
