Those who have utilized it know the benefits of having a secure healthcare plan that is affordable and do not want it being meddled with uncertainty.
Obamacare, when not called Obamacare, has always been popular! Tell Republicans what Obamacare does and how it helps them and a majority are for it! It’s just that Obama and the Democrats have cooties, they don’t want anything that Obama or Democrats have contributed to, they just want Republicans to pass Obamacare so they can reap the benefits!
There’s a reason that Kynect in Kentucky is extremely popular with Republicans in Kentucky, ACA is neutral, and they continue to hate Obamacare with all their might as they sign up for Kynect.
I hate Obamacare and being on it. But the republican plan is literally nonexistent. People will die. Include me in the Obamacare camp for now.
The ACA?
Too late now
It’s actually called „The Affordable Care Act (ACA),“ but the Republicans nicknamed it „Obamacare“ in order to demonize it. Well, their efforts failed, and people love the ACA. They love having healthcare. Imagine that? So now the Republicans are in a very tough spot. People love what the Republicans have tried so hard for so many years to get them to hate.
The ACA maximum out-of-pocket limit for 2026 is $10,600 for individual coverage and $21,200 for family coverage. Sorry but for most of us it is not „affordable“ but of course it is better than nothing…so the poll finds…/s
Unfortunately, it’s very unpopular with our rulers
Ten states have refused to fully expand Medicaid: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
I left AL to get healthcare in Minnesota. After a double pneumonia hospitalization without insurance, I felt I might die if I stayed in AL. I kept falling in the “gap” between Medicaid coverage and being able to afford insurance/getting a stipend. My reduced bill was $81K for 6 days in the hospital and a treatment that disabled me.
Public healthcare is a fundamental part of a modern society. Without it, we perpetuate all the current public health epidemics, including the opiate crisis and other addictions, all diet/obesity related illnesses, and rising cancer numbers.
Better than nothing and we deserve more.
Personally I prefer the affordable care act
It’s not so much that I love the Heritage Foundations plan for lining old rich white guys pockets with our health insurance money as much as the alternative is TO DIE
Funny how the worse off GOP voters are, the less socialist redistribution of wealth becomes.
Obamacare sucks. Yes, it improved things. But, the ACA needs to go.
We don’t need subsidies for health insurance companies. We need to just nationalize healthcare.
Friendly reminder that Medicare for all has majority support amongst ALL voters, would save tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars annually. And even though like 80% of democrat voters support it, Medicare for all is only mentioned by the left flank of the Democrat party.
„Now, imagine if you had actual national healthcare for everyone. We don’t have to.“ – the entire civilized world (and much of the uncivilized world)
republicans spent years screaming about death panels while people kept using the marketplace and going „huh this kinda slaps“
Who would have thought that government services (that we pay for) working for us would be popular?
Fucking maddening that so many Americans and brainwashed into believing that the government doesn’t exist to take care of its populace.
Some of y’all don’t remember the before times and it shows. Covering „pre-existing conditions“ alone was a huge game changer.
Remember when you didn’t have to wonder why the president wasn’t in jail every day? I do.
Remember when politics didn’t consume every moment of the news? I do.
With democrats maybe. But give me a break. Republicans have been rioting in the streets to end it ever since it came out. They won’t stop until hospital visits are cash only at the door.
Too bad Americans voted to kill it
Good.
But we should still burn it to the ground with no replacement, right MAGA? Make sure healthcare is unaffordable unless you’re a millionaire, right MAGA? The poor and middle class don’t really deserve to live anyway, right MAGA?
I’m so bored of this song and dance.
I think of the quote, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…”
“More popular” as in needed because there have been an insanely high number of layoffs this year?
The only thing we can thank the Republicans for is naming it Obamacare.
Must be nice to be able to afford insurance. Glad it helps some people I guess?
We see time and again that our current system of insurance isn’t working for far too many citizens, but we refuse to hold our elected officials accountable for accepting bribes. How many must die from closed hospitals and denied procedures before we change the system?
As the push for universal healthcare gets stronger you’ll see the ACA suddenly popular with republicans too. All they care about is profit over people.
Maga the one who need obamacare the most but they dont deserve it.
Well, what the GOP does is inversely correlated with what Americans want, so checks out.
You mean the last sane POTUS?
You mean the last sane POTUS?
Well I think the official name should be changed to Obamacare if and when this is reinstated.

Don’t it always seem to go,
that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone,
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
You don’t appreciate what you have until it’s cynically & cruely taken away from you
