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Another 26% want the entire law repealed, while 17% would like the law scaled back.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

“Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled”
So OVER half do?
Welfare freeloaders and Hillary voters trying to keep their “entitlements”
Anyone who is not suspect of polls following this last election is kidding themselves.
I know quite a few in my family alone that switched to vote for Trump simply because of Obamacare. They found out that it wasn’t the free ride they thought it would be after they lost they health care insurance.
The people who want to keep it going are the 23 year olds who do not have insurance and want to stay on the parents insurance. Or those with pre-existing conditions who would be charged much higher premiums.
The rest of us are supposed to be happy to foot their bill.
“Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled”
Well yeah, but 75% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time, so, yeah.
And the poll questions were only asked in spanish
How else was he supposed to have the time and resources to kill us?
Sure....cuz they’re getting subsidized up the kazoo....and we’re paying for it. All emergency rooms across the country have/had the same sign....no one turned away....So they were already getting free services.
BULL $HIT!!!
Everyone but the filth in DC want it gone.
It need to go immediately.
How aboutwhen over 70% opposed it but they passed it anyway. How about the poll Hillary was ahead by 6%. How about almost 50% is not over 50%.
CNN has shown itself to be a stooge for the democrats and liberal shrills....

And FAUX News is CNN’s helper.
CMON!!!!!!

These are the people who are covered by something other than Obamacare, or people who have Obamacare, but haven’t had to use it yet.
UGH, what would the MSM do if they didn’t use a “poll” to make up news?
This is the stupid half of America. Their opinions should only be solicited when a course of action is not clear. Then they should be asked their opinion so that the nation may do the exact opposite of what they think.
Well, 3/4 of Americans didn’t want it in the first place...so...they lose.
Yep. Not much difference anymore.
