Poll: Voters No Longer Want To Repeal Obamacare

Posted by | December 1, 2014 15:00 | Filed under: Good News Politics Top Stories


A Rasmussen poll shows that, for the first time, voters want to fix, but not repeal, Obamacare.

While 30% of likely voters still think Congress should repeal it entirely and start over again, 52% prefer instead that Congress go through the law piece by piece and improve it. Just 13% want to leave the law as is.

    Despite that Americans are paying more for health care now than ever. Not that the poll results are tantamount to any sort of beaten-down surrender response…

    Americans are finally figuring out this is a good law that just needs a little fixing. It is about time. It would of happened a lot sooner if it wasn’t for the right-wing noise machine.

    Not surprising, a large number of gap toothed dittoheads and Fox-bats still think it’s actually Government health care and not insurance.

    I don’t think they ever wanted it repealed.

    A solid majority continues to prefer that Congress work to improve the law rather than repeal and replace it

    Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: March
    2014
    Six in ten want Congress to keep the law in place
    and either leave it as is or work to improve it, while three in ten would
    prefer to see it either repealed and replaced with a Republican alternative or
    repealed and not replaced

    CNN May 11, 2014;

    According to the poll, 61% want Congress to leave the Affordable Care Act alone (12%) or make some changes to the law in an attempt to make it work better (49%).

    Thirty-eight percent of those questioned say the law should be repealed and replaced with a completely different system (18%) or say the measure should be repealed, with Americans going back to the system in place before the law was implemented (20%).

    NYT poll 13. Does the 2010 health care
    law go too far in changing the U.S. health care system, not far enough, or is it about right?

    Too far; 37

    Not far enough; 27

    About right; 25

    Not far enough + About right = 27 + 25 =
    52% v 37% too far.

    It bears repeating but I was laid off from nursing( growing field remember?) a little over 3 yrs. ago at age 60, 1 month away from my 61st bday. so there went my medical which most people who are and were always against ACA, tend to over look. Unfortunately, I’m in Nevada which allowed Xerox the failed photo copier co. to bid and of course they came in as the lowest so therefore won the contract. This was the 1st time I could afford med.ins. since being laid off and a few months later was diagnosed with breast cancer.and had to have a modified radical mastectomy back in Aug. and have been doing the chemo thing ever since. 2 wks. ago my doctor informed me that he needed to make a change in my plan and was therefore changing the type of chemo he would be switching me to and the rate I would begin receiving it. I’m now getting treatment every week through the middle of Jan. To cut to the chase, if it wasn’t for ACA I’d be dead now or on my way to my next life but by laying me off the hospital saved money.

    Thanks for allowing me to vent a little.

Unfortunately, I’m in Nevada which allowed Xerox the failed photo copier co. to bid and of course they came in as the lowest so therefore won the contract. I could only afford the lowest level so my deductible was set at $5750.00! This was the 1st time I could afford med.ins. since being laid off and a few months later was diagnosed with breast cancer.and had to have a modified radical mastectomy back in Aug. and have been doing the chemo thing ever since. 2 wks. ago my doctor informed me that he needed to make a change in my plan and was therefore changing the type of chemo he would be switching me to and the rate I would begin receiving it. I’m now getting treatment every week through the middle of Jan. To cut to the chase, if it wasn’t for ACA I’d be dead now or on my way to investigate my next life but by laying me off the hospital saved money.So who was against ACA I have to ask and this explains why I don’t believe polls, who are they asking questions of outside of the Beltway?

    Thanks for allowing me to vent a little.
