I heard it at home over Thanksgiving from doctors, nurses, as well as patients. I believe this law is going to be bad for patients, for providers, the nurses and doctors who take care of them, as well as for taxpayers. It has been no surprise to me that Americans want and expect repeal of this health care law. The most recent Rasmussen poll showed that Americans support repeal of ObamaCare by a margin of 21 percent; 58 percent are for repeal and 37 percent are not. Independent voters support repeal by 24 percentage points, 59 to 35 percent.
