Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled
Fox News ^ | December 1, 2016

Posted on 12/01/2016 4:32:01 AM PST by Zakeet

President-elect Donald Trump is intent on repealing Obamacare, but nearly half of Americans say they aren’t so keen on dismantling the health care reform law.

Some 49% of Americans want Trump and Congress to either expand Obamacare or continue implementing the law as it is, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday.

Another 26% want the entire law repealed, while 17% would like the law scaled back.

Trump and GOP Congressional leaders have said they plan to take up Obamacare’s repeal as soon the incoming president takes office on January 20. They are looking at repealing the law through the budget reconciliation process, which allows Congress to approve measures related to revenue and spending with only a simple majority, rather than 60 votes.

What remains unclear is what would replace Obamacare.

Freeper poll: In your opinion, does this article best represent:

  1. Another example of "made up" news by the lamestream media

  2. Another inaccurate poll with a vast oversampling of Democrats

  3. A bunch of libtards trying to push their socialist agenda by trying to sway the public

  4. Welfare freeloaders and Hillary voters trying to keep their "entitlements"

  5. Big insurance trying to keep its gravy train chugging

  6. Lots of illegal aliens cashing in on the good life

  7. All of the above

Pick the response you think best applies.

It is probably not far off when you consider 43% or better of the population is being taken care of by .gov and another large percent is making their living from the whole racket.

A better indicator of sentiment would be polling those that actually work/pay taxes for a living........

This link is deceiving. The FoxNews8 in Cleveland post is a reprint of a CNNWIRE article. CNN has shown itself to be a stooge for the democrats and liberal shrills - I don’t believe their poll numbers.

If nearly half don’t want it dismantled, that means the majority do want it dismantled.

I’m good with that.

I thought satire posts were supposed to be labelled so in the title. Did the rules change?

;-)

I’m amazed at how stupid they think we are.

BS! There just might be one or two features of ObamaCare that should be included in the plan that will replace it.But we must remember...as recently as a month ago BillyBob himself called ObamaCare “the craziest thing I've ever seen” and,also last month,the Rat Party Governor of Minnesota declared it to be “no longer affordable”.
