Remember how the media was touting ObamaCARE getting ‘more popular’ during the government shut down? Well, they wouldn’t report on this bit of news. According to Gallup, the approval of ObamaCARE has hit a brand new record low of 40%. Disapproval of ObamaCARE has hit a record high at 55% in the same poll.

Currently, 73% of Democrats, 39% of independents, and 8% of Republicans approve of the healthcare law. Approval is down at least marginally among all three groups since Gallup’s last update in late October.
What is the main reason why people disapprove of ObamaCARE? It’s not because of a glitchy website, it’s because of government’s intrusion into our lives, and forcing people to do things.

The leading complaint is a philosophical objection — government interference or forcing people to get healthcare — mentioned by 37% of those who disapprove. Twenty-one percent believe the law will increase costs and make healthcare less affordable. Eight percent specifically mention planning, design, or website problems; another 8% say the law is “not working.”
