A new poll released Thursday found that Obamacare is at its most popular it's ever been among the American public since it was signed into law by President Obama almost a decade ago.

Conducted by Navigator Research, a group overseen by people leading several progressive organizations, the poll found that 54% of Americans expressed favorable views of the program. Around 31% of the public said they had unfavorable views and 9% responded they didn't know.

The net favorability — or the gap between favorable and unfavorable views — stood at +23, a 22-point increase since the group last asked the question in June 2019. The results stood at 46% favorable vs. 45% unfavorable then.

.....

Another poll released last Friday from the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health research organization, mirrored those results. Its ongoing survey tracking public attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act found 55% of Americans supported it, a record high. Around 37% opposed it.

3. the only thing needed to go from aca to universal coverage is dump money into it.

even w/o a public option, which is the smart thing to do, tho medicaid would work, the only real issue is cost. subsidize heavily, PLUS continue the other parts of the aca which are designed to make the whole system work better. more efficiently, but more importantly, better.
good care is ALWAYS cheaper that shitty care.
THAT is why u.s. care is so expensive. it's because it sucks.
