re: More than 2/3 of Americans oppose ACA Repeal

As one of the 39%, they absolutely are not. Expansion =/= repeal.

Your inclusion doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.

That isn't what it says.

I'm well aware of that. In fact, it's my most consistent position on nearly every topic. Just don't pretend that it's new or unique.

I could have someone conduct a poll that would show 72% of the respondents would like to see the University of Alabama razed to the ground. Doesn't mean it is accurate, or that it should happen.

That said, I would imagine lots of people would be opposed to their free shite being taken away, and might actually want more free shite.

It says they want the law to be expanded.

We can all agree that doesn't mean that they want the law to go away. Thinking it doesn't do enough doesn't mean you want to burn the whole thing to the ground.

Now, we both understand that removing that 39% from your argument destroys your ability to say you're on the majority side, but them's the breaks.

Not required for repeal.



I win. Again.

What we have ain't working at all. My wife is in management at a local hospital and the ones that this program was designed for still do not have health care. Quite frankly they are refusing to buy it or sign up for it and still coming into the hospital because they know they will not be refused care.

Something has to be done because they have "self pay" patients that come in with paper bags holding their belongings and running up $100K + bills and you know there is no way they will ever pay anything back.

I don't know what the answer is but surely one can be found.

72% would like the government to keep in place the provision which provides federal subsidies to lower income people to pay for health insurance,

Here's an idea. Just take it out of their giant tax returns they always seem to get.

If it were a referendum on the aca vs repeal, she wins.

2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016, were all defacto referendums on Obamacare. Y'all got waxed every time.
