Obamacare is becoming more popular: Kaiser poll

Source: MSNBC

The Kaiser Health Tracking poll, released Tuesday, found that 43 percent of the public said they have a favorable opinion of the Affordable Care Act. That compares with 42 percent who said they view the law negatively.

The 1 percentage point gap is within the poll's margin of error and is not statistically significant, the Kaiser Family Foundation said.

Nonetheless, the results follow several months of that gap narrowing, and mark the first time since Obama's November 2012 re-election that the number of people with a favorable view on the law has topped those with an unfavorable view.

SNIP

While the Kaiser poll showed more people in favor of the law, it again underscored that people's perception of it is strongly linked to partisan affiliation. Democrats overwhelmingly approve of the law, while Republicans oppose it to an even greater degree.

Interesting how partisan the results are. The article also says that the majority of people don't really understand ACA and approve/dissaprove based on perception of the President.

The newest lie is that "Obamacare allows the government to step in when someone dies and there is no trust set up". Step in and do what, I have no idea. I am in the process of trying to prove this wrong, but how do you do that without reading the entire law to figure out what prompted an obvious lie?

That way you can deny all of their bullshit. And if they do prove you right, then at least you know.

though illegal immigrants who get it for free, plus mandatory gender reassignment surgery for anyone who has ever voted Republican in an election.



Why prove them wrong? Ask them to prove it and show you where it is written. The best they can do is some Rush Limbaugh transcript connecting this to net neutrality.
