Only 37% Support ACA Repeal and Replace

That's a shift of 25 points in just three months.

Thanks, Trump!

As President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gear up for another attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare, an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds broad public preference for keeping and improving it — including high levels of support for some of its key components.

Just 37 percent of Americans in the national survey say the Affordable Care Act should be repealed and replaced; 61 percent say it should be kept and fixed instead. Even more broadly, the public, by 79 to 13 percent, says Trump should seek to make the current law work as well as possible, not to make it fail as soon as possible, a strategy he has suggested.

Such a poll is idiocy, on steroids. How many of those responding could outline the major provisions of either the ACA or the bill that would replace it?

Certainly, no one in Washington, DC, could do that.

Why even look at such nonsense polls? They are worse than meaningless, pretending to show something important, but spouting utter nonsense.

 

[Mac1958]

Hey, come on, the GOP has only had eight fucking years on this.

Cut them some slack, willya?

2/3's of the population supported single payer when the Heritage Foundation's plan, "Obamacare", was passed. 90% of the population was against the Wall Street bailouts.

The will of the people is utterly irrelevant. Goldman Sachs, Raytheon, Exxon Mobile, Wall Street, et.al. will tell you people how things will go down.

Oh, an ABC News poll. They're always so ... honest and accurate.

I don't agree that it's meaningless.

It certainly shows public sentiment toward the ACA, and the profound impact that the Trump administration's incompetence has had on the same.

Do you have an example of an ABC/WaPo poll being inaccurate?

Trump is responsible for the ACA or America finally coming to prefer it? You are a drooling tard.

Most all of them.

Fix Obamacare or go the route of single payer. Do not repeal and do not go back to pre-2009.

Why not?

Obamacare is imploding. It has to be replaced. Lefties need to understand that polls generated by the news media are intended to create controversy and make a buck for the media sponsor and to keep the ignorant left wing filled with propaganda. There are a dozen ways polls can be manipulated. Pick certain demographic and use carefully selected words to elicit the correct answer. Didn't lefties see how skewed the push polls were that predicted a Hillary landslide? The only poll that counts was the one Americans took to elect a president.

Certainly not you. There is no bill to replace the ACA. There never has been.

If you recall, the majority of Americans opposed Obamacare's passage, the lesson here is that voters have a lot of anxiety about any changes to their health coverage.

 

[g5000]

Do not repeal and do not go back to pre-2009.

Why not?

Because healthcare costs were rising faster before ObamaCare than they are now.

Healthcare costs outpaced inflation for decades, and the GOP did NOTHING about it.

Since ObamaCare, they've been whining for seven years, and have still come up with NOTHING.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

More pointless polls. Have we learned nothing?

yup, Obamacare is here to stay

The Republican Party sold us down the single payer river a long, long time ago. All their wailing and gnashing of teeth over ObamaCare is theater for the rubes.

If the GOP actually gave a shit about America, they would have put a comprehensive reform package on the table seven years ago. They didn't, and still haven't.

All the modern GOP knows how to do today is whine. They don't know how to solve problems. They just know how to make the willfully ignorant base angry.

Every prediction I made about ObamaCare and single payer and the Republican Party since I have come to this forum has been coming to pass.
