More Americans want to keep the Affordable Care Act as it is or expand it than want to get rid of it, according to a new poll released Friday.
The Kaiser Family Foundation found that 47 percent of Americans want to expand (22 percent) or keep the law (25 percent). Conversely, 37 percent said they wanted to either repeal the law and replace it with some Republican alternative (13 percent) or repeal it without replacing it (24 percent).
That's despite the fact that more Americans have an unfavorable view of the law (44 percent) than a favorable view (38 percent), according to Kaiser.
The poll surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,513 Americans ages 18 and over. It was conducted from Oct. 17 to 23.

Hmmm...47% (where have I seen that number before?)

It is almost half way between 1 and 100. It's always been there.

 

It's also the percentage of Americans that don't pay Federal Income Tax!

 

You mean like the disabled, the elderly on SSI, low income people in poverty with kids, vets, and the rest of the scum and rabble? Wouldn't the elderly not really give a damn about Obamacare since they are already on Medicare which is an actual government health care system?

 

So, just WHEN did you start calling it "Obamacare"?

Democrats may want to stop referring to this train wreck as "Obamacare" since it's turning out to be F.U.B.A.R. (if you don't know what that is, look it up). It's giving our fearless leader a bad name.

 

Obama said it was OK to use that term. He is simply obeying instructions.

 

Don't worry...we'll be calling it Hillarycare (again) soon enough.

 

Bite your tongue!

 

Hey, Little Joe. Most dimocrats have stopped referring to the train wreck as "Obamacare". But, you're still calling it by that name, right? So, do you still want to keeping calling it "Obamacare"... "The Train Wreck"... "Socialized Insurance"... "The Debacle"... or what?

Obamacare Then, Affordable Care Act Now

The term “Obamacare” has largely disappeared from the mouths of Democrats as the president’s health care reform law has gone from a rallying cry to a political grenade.


President Obama once said he embraced the phrase on the 2012 campaign trail, telling supporters, “I do care.” As recently as Nov. 8, Obama predicted to a laughing crowd in New Orleans that his political opponents would stop using the term once the law became popular.

“I know health care is controversial, so there’s only going to be so much support we get on that on a bipartisan basis — until it’s working really well, and then they’re going to stop calling it Obamacare,” he said. “They’re going to call it something else.”

However, it has seemed to change names with the Democrats instead as the law’s popularity has slumped to new lows in the wake of Obama’s broken promises, rising premiums, insurance cancellations and a disastrous rollout. Obama’s approval rating has also plummeted as a result.

During an apologetic press conference Nov. 14, Obama referred to his law as the Affordable Care Act 12 times but did not say “Obamacare” once. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has referred to the law as Obamacare in the past, told Meet the Press host David Gregory that she “always” referred to it as the Affordable Care Act during an interview Sunday, and other Democrats are backing off the term as well.
