Summary
Republican increasingly support for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
According to a new Gallup poll, 19% of Republicans approve of Obamacare, the highest approval number since the poll began in 2012.
Additionally, 32% of Republicans believe the government has a responsibility to ensure health care coverage for all Americans, a significant jump from the 22% who said the same in 2020.
Funny that they voted against it.
tbf i would expect a progressive party to vote against a policy that 81% of their constituents didn’t agree with
I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there’s such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the “wrong” people
🎵it’s the American waaaaay🎵
Thanks Obama, for real though I’m on board with repeal and replace, cause this aint shit.
But I’m not aboard with “Repeal and bring back pre-existing conditions!”, but that seems to be all the Greedy Old Pricks have got up their sleeves.
They’ve had their one shot to try and make “something better” but they’ve failed miserably. I doubt going into the next 4 years, that they’ve got anything better either.
They have the concept of a plan of something better.
If Trump actually made a better plan, I’d support it. A good bill is a good bill, no matter who presents it.
That being said I don’t think it’s likely.
I will eat a microwaved dog turd on a livestream if this happens.
They’re going to spend the next four years breaking things and stuffing money into any place that will hold it. They don’t know how to build jack shit.
They had multiple shots. They could easily have bill that replaces or worth something else, but they instead opted to remove it without alternative.
They have concepts of a plan. The real plan will be out in 2 weeks, give or take. If you ask about it, the timer starts over.
Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.
(He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)
He made it harder to enroll for those people. Less people on the Obamacare, more for the right people
These people don’t know what’s good for them. Listen to terrible sources. And so we all suffer. I wish I could separate from them.
keep obama’s name out of it and it would poll higher.
So, Romneycare?
They’re the ones who gave it that name.
so they know what they’re supposed to hate.
a poll asking about ‘affordable care act’ only, with no mention of ‘obamacare’ will get significantly different responses than one that does reference president obama.
It should forever be referenced as “The ACA (Obamacare)”. Never let anyone forget what they did.
This^
A lot of polling found support for the ACA jumped when it was referred to by its actual name and not OBamacare
But it would still be a shitty Republican substitute for M4A
It’s gonna be gone right? Are there any senators expected to want to keep it?
At least 12 year high**********
We’re so lucky Trump saved it from…
McCain saved it
