On the same day that the Supreme Court granted review of President
Obama’s health care reform law over the constitutionality of the mandate
that all Americans have health insurance, a new CNN/Opinion Research poll finds Americans approving of the provision, a marked improvement since June.
Key
findings: “According to the poll, 52% of Americans favor mandatory
health insurance, up from 44% in June. The survey indicates that 47%
oppose the health insurance mandate, down from 54% in early summer.”
Paul Krugman:
“Since that’s the core of health reform, this basically means that
proponents are slowly winning the argument. If we make it to actual full
implementation, this reform will be irreversible.”
