Nearly half of American adults said the Republican healthcare reform measure is "not an improvement" over Obamacare, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday. The Republican bill, the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which is up for a vote in the House of Representatives later on Friday, is expected to cut the federal deficit while greatly increasing the number of Americans without health insurance.

Democratic leaders are unified against the bill while some conservative Republicans have criticized it for not doing enough to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, the measure familiarly known as Obamacare which was passed in 2010 and was the signature domestic achievement of former President Barack Obama.

According to the March 13-23 poll, 49 percent of American adults said the AHCA was "not an improvement" over Obamacare, which helped about 20 million people get insurance coverage. Another 33 percent said the Republican bill was "an improvement" over Obamacare, and the remaining 18 percent did not know.

The responses were largely split along party lines. Some 19 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of Republicans said the AHCA was better than Obamacare, while 73 percent of Democrats and 22 percent of Republicans said it was not an improvement.

1. "Nearly half" is not a good sign. It also indicates our education system has failed and there are

too many callous white wingers in this country.

[Egnever]

2. agreed

There is no way to objectively see it as an improvement.

[llmart]

3. Well, another poll yesterday showed...

only 17% of voters liked it. So take this one with a grain of salt.

[Hoyt]

4. But a lot of the 83% don't like "socialized medicine" (which ACA really isn't, but) or any social

program that helps poor and/or sick people. it's really kind of disgusting.

[llmart]

6. Oh, I agree with you on that but...

as I said in another thread last night, perception is everything. Most Americans will perceive this as an EPIC FAIL by drump and the GOP, and that can only be a good thing. We have to take everything we can get and keep up the pressure and make sure the media doesn't normalize his psychopathy.

[Hoyt]

8. Most of us do, but the white wingers that voted for him for deportation, repeal without replacement,

etc., won't. It's certainly good that it did not pass -- well, as long as they don't defund ACA insuring it's death and/or focus on repealing ACA with no replacement -- we are better off. And, they've already indicated they won't enforce the mandate, which will kill ACA pretty quickly.

[JudyM]

5. Those who saw it as an improvement should've had a simple follow-up question: " In what way?"

[Sunlei]

7. ACA "law"-Insurance Corps can't increase premiums over a small percent. Why do Republicans allow

Why do Republicans allow Insurance Corporations to get away with price gouging rate hikes & fake inflated medical bill charges to increase consumers out of pocket costs?

I hope Ds now focus on making Insurance Corporations comply with the ACA laws and regulations.

When one does a search on any State thousands of hits come up for healthcare plans offered OFF the healthcareDOTgov exchange. There are only 3 or 4 Insurance Corporations, why can't Republicans make them follow the Law?
