As Republicans ponder what to do about healthcare, a poll released Monday indicates two-thirds of Americans oppose complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
The McClatchy/Marist poll indicates 65 percent of Americans hope at least part of the ACA survives while 20 percent said lawmakers should leave the law as is, and 31 percent said they wanted complete repeal of President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement.
President Donald Trump and Republicans have been vowing to repeal the ACA and replace it, but GOP lawmakers have been running into opposition at town hall meetings in their districts. Trump Monday expressed surprise the process was taking so long.
“Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated,” Trump said after a meeting with governors at the White House. "I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject.”
