Poll: Obamacare support at all time low of 39%

From Beltway Confidential:
Americans' opinion of Obamacare has reached an all-time post-passage low according to the Kaiser Health Tracking poll. Only 39% of those surveyed have a favorable view of the law, two points below the previous nadir of 41% first set in May 2010. Forty-four percent of Americans have an unfavorable view.

While there continues to be a sharp partisan divide over the law, the Kaiser poll shows Americans' views converging. Democratic and Independent support for Obamacare has fallen to all-time lows of 60% and 33% respectively. But Republican support for the law is at an all-time 24% high.
A continuous stream of nightmare stories from places where socialized medicine has been tried (and failed) may be fueling some of this. For instance, in Britain: 100,000 terminally ill 'do not get proper palliative care'
Far more people die in hospital than wish to, and experts estimate that more than 90,000 people are not having their palliative care needs met.
And this: Saddam Hussein Torture Doctor at Work in British Hospital. And this: Cataracts, hips, knees and tonsils: NHS begins rationing operations (more on that one at Maggie's Notebook, Betsy's Page, Power Line, LifeNews). Even more: NHS trusts delaying surgeries to get people to pay — or die. And regarding ObamaCare: Health care law won't rein in costs, study says. Of course it doesn't! It was never meant to!

UPDATE: The 6-Year Search for a Family Doctor in Canada 
From the article "The Soul-Destroying Search for a Family Doctor," about a woman's six-year search to find a family doctor in Canada, where the single-payer system is frequently plagued with shortages for primary care physicians.
Plus this:  "All of these people were actually lined up to try to get a family doctor in Canada."
Yikes...
