Turns Out Taking Away Health Care Doesn't Make You More Popular

For anyone who has seen reports of constituents speaking outagainst TrumpCare across the country, it should come as no surprise that the bill is  deeply unpopular among the American people. A new Politico/Morning Consult poll confirms that a majority of Americans oppose TrumpCare:

“The popularity of the Republican health care bill declined over the past week even as its chances of becoming law improved after its passage by the House, underscoring the political peril President Donald Trump and the GOP face in their efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

“Voters have low expectations — few believe the bill, if enacted, will make the U.S. health care system better, increase the number of Americans with health coverage, improve the quality of their own care or decrease the costs for them and their family.”

“Only 38 percent of voters approve of the GOP-drafted health care bill, the new poll shows.”

“Voters have a more positive opinion of the law the new legislation seeks to supplant: Half of voters now approve of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, while 42 percent disapprove.”

“37% will be less likely to support a Member of Congress who votes for the repeal.”

“Voters trust Democrats more than Republicans in Congresson the issue of health care by 9 points (45% to 36%).”
