A majority of Americans approve of the Supreme Court decision to continue allowing Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies in all states, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
The poll found that 62 percent of Americans support the King v. Burwell decision, while 32 percent disapprove.
The public's approval of the King v. Burwell decision is higher than that of the Supreme Court's 2012 ruling, which also rejected a major challenge to the Obama-backed health care law. About half, 47 percent, approved and 43 percent disapproved of the ruling in that case, according to a Kaiser Health Tracking poll conducted in June 2012.
Despite the public's largely favorable view of the court's decision, opinions regarding the Affordable Care Act are divided, with 43 percent of Americans viewing the law favorably and 40 percent of Americans viewing the law unfavorably.

(1,150 posts)19% are rich people who will claim it's free healthcare for poor people (whatever skin color) paid for by them.
1% are just ordinary idiots.

(32,723 posts)He then praised key provisions of the ACA like kids being on their parent's policy and tried to claim those were things REPUBLICANS came up with.
When the ACA first passed I was at a party and there was someone there that said in a loud voice, "Don't look for any benefit from that law! We're the wrong skin color!" just as I was coming in. (She's a spoiled daddy's girl and daddy owns a couple of apartment complexes.)

(45,806 posts)hate the president and anything associated with him.
I still can't get over a lady from Pgh. who is widowed and paying for her own insurance. We explained how much she could save per month if she enrolled in the ACA program. She absolutely refuses to do that because it's OBAMACARE aand she'll happily pay more for what she has.
I wonder how she's going to feel about medicare (Lyndon Johnson's program) when she reaches 65 in several years?

(15,038 posts)Mine is 40% of what it used to be, thanks to the ACA, and I pay for private insurance without going through an exchange. In fact, the first year, when we used the exchange, we found there was too much negativity from providers.
We used the exchange that first year to show solidarity with the exchange. The second year, we moved out the moment we could and now have the exact same insurance, from the same provider, for the same money, without the associated negative connotations of being part of Covered California. Weird, but that's just the way some people are.
I have a choice to remove myself from this class of put-upon peoples so I did.

(27,787 posts)For many here, the ACA was the worst thing ever.
I wonder how this poll would do on DU now.

(18,791 posts)I guess I missed all that.
I do remember all the stories for those that were desperate for healthcare and got it because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

(27,787 posts)... see, getting the ACA is not only going to kill us all because it lacks a PO ... its also going to prevent Single payer from ever happening because enough people won't be dying.
Any one who has been on DU since Obama took office has heard these claims.
They have died down now that the ACA is a success ... but occasionally, some one will throw them out again.
See here on DU, you make claims about how awful something like the ACA is going to be ... and then forget it when those predictions do not come true.
