HEALTH CARE — POLL FINDS INCREASING NUMBER OF AMERICANS OPPOSING REPEAL OF HEALTH CARE LAW: Just days after Republicans released their third “bill” to repeal the health care law, a new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll found that “given the option to name the sections of the healthcare law they would most like to see the GOP repeal, 42 percent [of Americans] said they would leave the bill alone and repeal no parts.” Polling for the new health care law doesn’t show the kind of “bump” Democrats had expected, but the numbers are slowly improving. For instance, according to a May 2010 Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, 55 percent of Americans said health reform should have a chance to work, versus 42 percent who said repeal and start over. Just 17 percent thought the health reform bill “would make things better, 36 percent said health care would get worse and 37 percent said it would stay the same.” “In April 2009, those numbers were 22 percent, 24 percent and 29 percent respectively.” Just as Americans are turning against repeal, business groups are showing reluctance to support the conservative agenda. Last month, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) — a conservative group aligned with Republican interests — surprised other business organizations when it joined a state-based lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of health care reform. Immediately after the announcement, business groups of various sizes and ideological persuasions distanced themselves from the lawsuit. “At this time, we have no plans to” join the lawsuit, a representative of the National Association of Manufacturers told The Hill. The Chamber of Commerce also said it would not join the suit and would instead pursue an “aggressive strategy of battling the regulations” of reform. The NFIB is having a hard time persuading smaller, state-based business groups to join their effort. As one article from New Jersey notes, small business groups seem weary of the lawsuit.
