Polls Show Confusion About Health Care Reform

Many organizations are polling Americans about health care reform, and each poll shows a slightly different perspective. But one trend is consistent: on the one year anniversary of the passing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we are confused.  Here are few highlights:

• CBS Poll: 55% of Americans disapprove of defunding health care reform.
• Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: 1 in 5 Americans believe the law has been repealed.
• Fox News Poll: Americans are evenly split on whether they think the repeal efforts are “an important effort” or “a waste of time”.
• CNN Poll: Asked whether they favor or oppose the law, 59% oppose and 37% favor it.
