ObamaCare's Popularity Is A Myth — Enrollee Satisfaction Craters To 22% As Exchanges Collapse
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 3/2/2017 | Staff

Posted on 03/03/2017 4:10:17 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Health Reform: The need for an overhaul of ObamaCare just got more acute, as a new survey shows that satisfaction rates among those enrolled in ObamaCare plans has taken a steep nose-dive this year amid premium hikes and reduced choices.

The new coverage of ObamaCare these days has been all about protests against repeal and the alleged increase in public support for the law.

But a survey of actual ObamaCare customers released this week paints an entirely different picture.

It found that just 22% of the 44,200 ObamaCare enrollees polled rate their health plan as good to excellent. That's down from 77% who gave their ObamaCare plans high marks last year.

Republicans should never fully repeal ObamaCare.

They should just get rid of the mandates, subsidiaries and taxes to allow a free insurance market and let ObamaCare do what it does - provide crappy insurance coverage at an exorbitant price with huge deductibles

Every American should be offered ObamaCare as an option with coverage and costs fully explained and every American should have to sign off to self exempt themselves from the abomination that is ObamaCare

This would prevent Democrats from playing the blame game they play so well

This albatross should be hung from the neck of the Democrat Party for a generation

For the 30th time since 2010, the simply fix for.healthcare is tax credits for medical expenses. It isn’t that complicated but the DC lawyers, politicians, welfare parasites, and insurance companies don’t like this idea. They lose control over the lives of other people.

Besides being Hillary’s lawn jockey, Barry’s only claim to fame is riding her Trojan horse, HIllarycare, to the finish line. Perhaps USSC justice Roberts can use his robe as a prophylactic over his head to urge it on again.

Also rans.

Make the liberals stick with Obamacare and just help out the good people...i.e., the rest of us.

Obamacare was just a massive expansion of Medicaid, funded by the middle class through an enormous increase in premiums and taxes. Many in the (rapidly disappearing) middle class are forced to sell their home or take out a second mortgage just to have health insurance. The greatest transfer of wealth in history.

EXACTLY!!!.....

If you want your Obamacare...you can keep your Obamacare...

I know so many young “subsidized” people that have realized the “Hi-deductable” scam the 1st time they used Obamacare....They get a bill that they cant afford to pay because they spent their money on the premium....Now..they pay neither...

They will be if they repeal and replace it with another disaster. That seems to be their plan.

I’m not saying that. If you don’t pay taxes you can still buy insurance, or not, if you so choose. My dad lived a life with nothing but required liability on his car and truck. He saved the premiums and insured himself.
