Commenting on the six month anniversary of the Senate passage of President Obama's health care bill on Sept. 23, Population Research Institute (PRI) president Steve Mosher critiqued the legislation, asserting that much of what the president has claimed about the bill is simply “not true.”
“Today is the six-month anniversary of the passage of President Obama's signature legislation, what has come to be known as ObamaCare,” Mosher began in his organization's Weekly Briefing on Thursday. “The White House is feting this semi-anniversary, but few Americans are in a mood to join the celebration.”
The PRI president added that “the more Americans find out what is actually in this monstrosity of a bill, the less they like it. Polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports show that 55 percent of the public supported the repeal of ObamaCare on March 25, just two days after its passage.”
“Today, a half-year later, the number of those favoring repeal has grown to 61 percent.”
