“Obamacare” poll finds 42% of Americans unaware it’s law. “Four in ten Americans (42%) are unaware that the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is still the law of the land,” the report says, “including 12 percent who believe the law has been repealed by Congress, 7 percent who believe it has been overturned by the Supreme Court and 23 percent who say they don’t know enough to say what the status of the law is.” Yep, this is gonna work like a charm.

Doesn't anyone remember when Uncle Joe said "This is a big f*cking deal!"?
I guess it wasn't as "big" or "f*cking" as he thought.
That fits with the Pew survey from earlier this year in which only 62% of the people surveyed knew that Roe v. Wade was about abortion.
You mean Roe v. Wade isn't about people wading into the streams and trampling salmon roe?
I thought it was "Row versus Wade," as in trying to decide what method to use to cross a stream. Learn somethin' new every day.
Odd thing is: A good chunk of that 42% voted for the clown. They WANTED his "healthcare magic." How come they aren't EXCITED that it's the law? How did they forget that their dream came true?
Man! It's like if I forgot that Saddam Hussein is dead!
I'd say the media can boast mission accomplished.
Are any of that 42% on the Supreme Court? 'Cause I wonder...
Also: What percentage of us WISH it wasn't the law?
I wonder if these 42 % know what planet they are on, and that it is really round and not flat?
The fact that there are 40% of the electorate that a low information voters is no big surprise. It's sad. All the more reason for changing existing voting laws to include english literacy as a prerequisite, at least 10th grade literacy would be enough, third grade if we still had an education system that was worth a shit.
"The fact that there are 40% of the electorate that a(re) low information voters is no big surprise." Ooops! I might end up as one of the first casulties of my own ideas!
Well, not only did you notice your mistake, but you fixed it as well. That puts you about 10 furlongs ahead of our genius president and 90% of Congress. (Granted that's a low bar to clear but it reinforces your original point. :)
Thanks a lot for the kudos. I feel much better now, but I'm still not ready to fall on my own petard. :-)
