Only among the nay-sayers.Both sides suck and the ACA is not a plan.
The ACA must be working better than what we had before.....millions more now have health insurance, no thanks to the party of "NO". You can side with the nay-sayers, but the facts betray your position.
For example, one Gallup survey released last week showed that 17.1% of the population was uninsured during the last quarter of 2013, compared with 15.6% in the first quarter of 2014, the lowest uninsured rate in the U.S. since 2008 (Millman, "Wonkblog," Washington Post, 4/16). The data mean that around 7.26 million U.S. residents who were uninsured in September 2013 now have coverage.
Surveys Highlight ACA’s Effect on U.S. Uninsured Rate
It's funny how this argument has to morph for you to think you are winning it.
I have no affiliation. You, on the other hand, are quite affiliated and obviously did quite well in your parroting classes.
Nobody argued that more people don't have insurance. High priced, and in many cases worthless, insurance.
The fact remains.....the law is less popular than it is popular.
You're a little behind on your statistics, bubba. Better go brush up on your math. And that 48% is mostly Republicans.
With the year's sign-up deadline upon us, Americans split on Obamacare, 49 percent in support, 48 percent opposed.
At 49 Percent Support, Obamacare Hits a High
And, another reason it remains unpopular among conservatives is because they are so dumb....they think ACA is not the same as Obamacare.
Despite being the same thing, support for the Affordable Care Act was eight percentage points higher among Republican voters than for 'Obamacare,' the poll found.
In a new poll conducted by Fox News, 22 percent of GOP voters said they supported the Affordable Care Act, while just 14 said the same for "Obamacare."
Republicans like Affordable Care Act more than 'Obamacare'
The also remains...the GOP has no viable plan for health insurance repair.
That does not elevate the ACA to something useful.
It just means we are without a plan.
Now, eat your cracker and STFU.
Quit trying to act like you're not sucking up to the Republican party. I sure hope you are one of the wealthiest....otherwise you are one of the dumbest. You swallow your leaders' lies with a smile, sucker,
Why do Republicans hate ACA:
This past week’s New York Times Upshot article, I believe, provides a major part of the answer. Briefly, “it’s the taxes on the wealthy, stupid.” Specifically, it’s about two new Medicare taxes that went into effect in 2013 only on higher income Americans:
Every leading candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination has a tax reform proposal that promises major tax cuts for the wealthiest. If there’s anything close to doctrinal orthodoxy among today’s Republican political class, it is the inviolability of lowering taxes for the upper class. The ACA not only raised taxes on the wealthiest, it committed the most heinous offense imaginable to Republicans by increasing taxes onunearned income.
