This week, the Republican-controlled U.S.House will consider — and likely approve — legislation to repeal the health care bill. The GOP gained control, mostly on the strength of lingering anger that the bill was passed in the first place, according to many analysts.
Fast-forward from November, however, and it gets more confusing. A new poll from the Associated Press says only 1 in 4 of those surveyed favors repealing the health care bill.
Even among Republicans, the desire to repeal the law completely has diminished.
At the same time, however, opposition to the mandate that everyone carry health insurance remains strong.
Beyond that, however, the poll tells us nothing about why people’s overall attitudes about the bill are changing.
