Previous polls by the Kaiser Family Foundation have consistently demonstrated that the country is deeply divided on the health-care overhaul law. But according to the group’s latest poll, almost half of those surveyed either believed the health law had been outright repealed (22%) or didn’t know enough to answer one way or the other (26%).
Fifty-two percent of the 1,001 adults who were asked about the current status of the health law answered (correctly) that it is still the law of ..read more

Health-Care Bill: Going Back for Another VoteCategories: Wall Street Journal
Student loans appear to be a health overhaul headache: the reconciliation bill is going back to the House for a vote, thanks to Senate Republicans who found two provisions in the document — including one related to student loans — that violate its rules and can’t be included in the final bill.

Health Bill: From Reconciliation to ‘Deeming’Categories: Wall Street Journal
