This Doesn't Look Good for TrumpCare...
It turns out that Senate Republicans’ last ditch attempt to pass TrumpCare isn’t very popular. According to a new CBS Poll, over half of Americans do not approve of the latest version of TrumpCare. Instead, a majority of Americans want the Affordable Care Act improved, not repealed. Take a look at the CBS poll here:
“Most Americans -- 52 percent -- disapprove of the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, according to a CBS News Poll conducted between Sept. 21 and 24.”
“Only 20 percent of those polled said they approved of the Republican legislation aimed at repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Obama.”
“Fewer than half (46 percent) of Republicans said they approved of the Graham-Cassidy bill, which is expected to come up for a vote in Congress on Wednesday. Only 18 percent of independents approved, and just two percent of Democrats gave it their backing.”
“Many Americans -- 42 percent of those polled -- said they thought Republicans were moving too fast to try and pass the Graham-Cassidy bill, including an overwhelming majority of Democrats and 39 percent of independents.”
“One area of strong partisan agreement revealed by the CBS News poll was on health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. Nearly nine in ten Americans -- including large majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and independents -- said they believe health insurance companies should be required to provide insurance to people with pre-existing conditions.”
“Most people want the Affordable Care Act to be improved, not repealed. Three in four said the law should either be kept in place (9 percent) or that it has some good things in it but needs some changes (65 percent).”
