The Healthcare debate heats up once again as the Supreme Court readies to consider the legality of government healthcare.

Supporters in Congress are working once again to put a spin on the law that was signed by President Obama on March 23rd, 2010. Meanwhile, GOP contendors have made it known that if elected, they will make it a priority to repeal the controversial bill.

A survey was taken by 1,000 likely voters in November that showed that voters feel that the government lacks the authority to force Americans to purchase health insurance. In that poll, 69% of the respondents thought that way. The Rasmussen poll had a sampling error of +/- 3%.

In another Rasmussen poll done just this month, the results shows likely voters favoring a repeal of the Healthcare law. At 56%, support for a repeal is at an eight month high. 39% oppose repeal of the law. 29% were strongly opposed. That poll also had a +/- 3% error margin.

The Supreme Court will take up the constitutionality of the law next week. It is rare to see the Supreme Court asked to strike down federal legislation and that court has its own popularity problems. They have fallen to a new low in the eyes of the voters. In a poll of 1,000 likely voters last week, Rasmussen came back with an approval rating of only 28%.

The court once again refused televised acccess to the debates that will take place in the courtroom this week. The court has never agreed to televised broadcast from the chambers. They did agree however to release audio recordings of the proceedings. Those will be available on the Supreme Court’s website, they will be posted within two hours after the end of proceedings.

This case can go either way at this point. The Supreme Court has on its bench, five GOP appointed judges. It is possible that all can side with the GOP’s views on Health care. But, with four Democrat appointed judges, who will most likely vote that the program is constitutionally correct, they only need one of those judges to side with them for a healthcare victory.
