Washington (CNN) – Half of all Americans say they oppose the Obama administration’s new policy concerning employer-provided health insurance plans and their coverage of contraceptive services for female employees including those at religiously affiliated institutions, according to a new national survey.

According to the survey, 50% of the public disapproves of the Obama administration policy, with 44% saying they approve of the plan. The margin is right at the edge of the poll’s sampling error.

we'll never know until the reformers are voted out of office, they got rid if the long form census

but in 2006 30 % weren't in any religion, I'd hazard a guess and say its at least 40% now

So in other words, there are still plenty of "religious nut jobs" in Canada. So relax, the Americans have freedom of religion and expression, just like you...200 years earlier!

If that's what you want to do, it's fine with me and not so crazy after all. I guess it is only crazy when Americans do it, huh?

Why so low? Wait...let me see...ummmm....just a sec....nope, I didn't think so. Birth control pills ain't "free" in Canada either unless you can prove your dirt poor.

Do you think the Queen gets free birth control pills? Maybe she doesn't need them these days.

Or maybe 50% of America believe the government shouldn't dictate what's in health insurance plan.

Unless you're paying for things with coins or 20's.

Ah, so you speak for all Canadians then? I have a healthy respect for Canada's monarchy, as they've served us extremely well.

You do, do you? At least as many people as not are monarchists in Canada. The system works, so I'm in favour of it....and I happen to love God Save the Queen.

[olpfan1]

Divine Intervention is made up, if the Queen were in trouble God would not help her
