Support for healthcare reform continues to rebound, according to a new Gallup poll. 49 percent of Americans are now saying the new law is a "good thing," with 46 percent opposed.
Here's the infuriating part:
On the basis of age, the largest well of opposition is found among seniors, 60% of whom call passage of the bill a bad thing, similar to the 57% in April. By contrast, attitudes are more favorable than unfavorable among young and middle-aged adults.
Senior citizens, ostensibly on Medicare, really don't like this law. The Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers are once again screaming, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" I can't imagine why America is so screwed up right now.
(With apologies to the sensible and rational boomers among us.)
