Despite Deceptive Headlines, Obamacare Remains as Unpopular as Ever

Elizabeth Fender / April 06, 2017 / comments

 

The Kaiser Family Foundation runs a monthly tracking poll on health care topics, including Obamacare, that provides those involved in the raging U.S. health care debate some helpful regular check-ins with public sentiment.

The April edition has gotten some increased attention in light of the recent repeal attempts in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The only person I know IRL who loves Obamacare is my friend Rose.  She was unemployed for most of her adult life.  Now she's receiving SS, but because she contributed so little, her monthly benefit is very small.  A subsidized insurance plan is a godsend to her.

Rose has been lucky that she is in reasonably good health for 70 years old, so she hasn't had to use her insurance all that much.  She does have arthritis in her knees, and once, her doctor sent her for physical therapy.  At the end of the PT, Rose received a bill for $1,200.  She didn't realize that this wonderful subsidized insurance she received under Obamacare had a high deductible.

The ones who get, or think they are getting, something for nothing believe Obamacare is wonderful and don't want to see it repealed or even modified.  They refuse to acknowledge that Obamacare is a disaster and that if something isn't done soon, the whole scheme will blow up.  When that happens, they will be the ones who really suffer.

The takers love Obamacare, as they do their subsidized housing, subsidized food, subsidized education, and assorted entitlements.
