A new Gallup poll contained some
devastating news for repugicans who are hell-bent on repealing the ACA.
The vast majority of Americans love their Obamacare.
The Gallup poll found
that the newly insured who bought coverage through the ACA were more
satisfied with their health insurance than the overall insured
population. Seventy-five percent of the newly insured were satisfied
with the cost of their coverage compared to 61% of total insured
population. Sixty-eight percent of the newly insured plan on renewing
their current policy, 7% will get a different policy on the exchange,
15% will get a different policy from somewhere else, and 2% plan on
having no health insurance.
The news that people like their Obamacare is a
devastating blow to the repugican movement to repeal the law. The
results of this poll are why repugican congressional leadership pays a
lot of lip service to repealing the ACA, but have little interest in
engaging in a fight with the White House to get rid of the law. Over
time, the news will continue to get better for the law’s supporters. As
people continue to sign up and see positive results, it is going to
become increasingly difficult for repugicans to repeal the law.
A big challenge for Democrats and the White House is
to get more people access to the ACA. There is still a disparity among
states who have taken full advantage of the law, and those that haven’t.
The future fight will be centered around getting Medicaid expanded and
more state exchanges setup. The repugican mis-led states that aren’t
participating fully deny millions of their citizens a better life.
Americans love their Obamacare, and there will be
hell to pay if repugicans follow through on their threats to take
health care away from millions.
