People want the subsidies maintained. They want most of the aspects of ACA maintained. They want exchanges that work.
Independent voters will state they don't like the bill, but, their answers to these question favor every aspect in parallel to Democrats.
Even Republicans answer favorably to these questions with the exception the requirement that every citizen has to purchase health care insurance. They don't necessarily understand to have the rest of what they like about the bill every citizen has to purchase into it with subsidies or through exchanges or through the employers. There is no aspect to the political landscape that flatly wants the ACA repealed, not even Republicans.
This issue with low favoribility ratings for requiring all Americans to purchase health care speaks to the lack of information the public has about the bill. Democrats are not talking enough to constituents to be sure they understand the law. Getting Republicans to understand that means finding a way through pamphlets or otherwise stating to have this law means purchasing insurance.
This question shows where the misunderstanding of the law exists. The highest total is "The government should have a limited role in providing healthcare insurance. There is a political commercial circulating in the country that is the same exact commercial as last year stating, "Write you legislator to prevent cuts in hospital care. " Now that is a lie or it is Republican political cuts to the budget. Which is it?
The total above stating 25% of responders are UNSURE tells the tale.
DEMOCRATS SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF THIS TOPIC. IT IS ALL GOOD, BUT, PEOPLE IN LARGE MEASURE DON'T GET IT.
The ACA is a great law and not enough Americans have experienced it's benefits yet.
Americans don't have to purchase health care insurance, but, if that is the case they have to pay taxes so the government can assist hospitals that provide care to the uninsured through the emergency room.
