Multiple polls show that the GOP’s Ryancare healthcare plan is even more unpopular than the perpetually unpopular Obamacare plan or the Democrats’ 1993 “Hillarycare” plan, says FiveThirtyEight.com, which analyses polls, surveys, and data.
The GOP overhaul “is much more disliked than the ACA [Obamacare] and [President Bill] Clinton’s health care reform bill were when they were first introduced,” the site reported. March 23. “Across nine surveys, the [American Health Care Act] has garnered an average of just 32 percent in favor compared with 45 percent opposed.”

Meaningless. Like the polls asking “Which plan do you prefer, Obamacare, of the Affordable Healthcare Act”. *hint odumbocare favored....
Whatever happened to the Price healthcare plan, The Prez hired the the man who created it.
Actually Trump was for repeal and free market replacement during his campaign. This isn’t that.
But poor Ryan? He is scum who should be ousted from his Speaker position!
I believe McClintock said many of the Price bulletpoints are in the house bill. Tax credits, block grants etc.
Right. LOL. I figured that was the case.
People don’t like to be hoodwinked. They said repeal and replace but in reality, it’s very much the same thing.
At least 40% of people in any poll will say they hate anything sponsored by President Trump or Republicans. That’s just the baseline of where we stand today.
The only free market Trump articulated was selling across state lines. He admitted that his plans for Healthcare would probably cost him votes because it wasn’t a conservative plan.
RyanCare is nothing but an insult to Conservatives and really anyone with half a brain.
I have to agree.
That’s not correct:
The mandate is missing from his program. That’s it. It was pretty much o care but taking Obama out of the equation to deny him a legacy.
No he wasn’t.
No, that is just not true.
He talked in multiple rallies about free-market reforms, which he further enumerated as across state lines, HSAs, and no mandates, for example.
He made the point that he would have a safety net, which of course we have long had in the name of Medicaid.
Of course nobody likes it. At least with Hillarycare and Obamacare, many Democrats would support it out of party loyalty. No democrats and very few republicans want Ryancare, so it was doomed from the start.
Here’s another description, for which repeal was just one of a number of freer-market points to his plan:

“97% of people do not have the slightest idea what is in Ryancare, plus it is not settled, so how can they like it or not like it?”
We know it’s just another big government healthcare scheme, and that is enough for most on the right to dislike it.
If people with pre-existing conditions are included in any general plan, the general public will never see lower premiums again. At that point, we really aren’t talking about “insurance” anymore, just government-subsidized healthcare masquerading as insurance.
If we have no choice but to cover those people, then the sensible thing is to just segregate them into a government-subsidized plan like Medicare and let everyone else reap the benefits of actual insurance plans.
Probably
IF you’ve got a pre-existing condition you’re in the same category as having to car-jack someone to save your life- survival comes first, as one of my friends put it. Not sure I agree, but then I’ve got good coverage.
