An overwhelming majority of people disapprove of Republican lawmakers' plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act without having a ready replacement for the health care law, according to a poll released Friday.

And judging by the letter-writing and lobbying in the first week of the new congressional session, many health care and business groups agree.

A poll released Friday by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 75 percent of Americans say they either want lawmakers to leave Obamacare alone, or repeal it only when they can replace it with a new health care law. Twenty percent of those polled say they want to see the law killed immediately.

But Drew Altman, CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, says the poll shows lawmakers don't have a strong mandate to repeal Obamacare.....................

3. It is going to be devastating for all Americans, it will cause tremendous

economic problems and with wall street.

You are now subject to maximum limits and preexisting conditions so you CANT leave your job, if you do you will maybe die if you have a preexisting condition.

This is what the GOP wanted, I assume.

4. No strong mandate to repeal?!?! Trump gave them marching orders....

That's all they need. Voting on it today in the House.

5. What "most Americans" want doesn't matter. It's what the 1% wants. nt

6. Most Americans are fickle I guess.

Not long ago, they thought ACA was a disastrous failure.

7. I wonder . . .

how many of these assholes who don't want it repealed voted for Trump?

[underpants]

8. Maybe it's just me but 75% seems like a mandate

I see that even Kasich is asking to not repeal it with a replacement

9. Polls Didn't Prevent Bush/Cheney

protests didn't prevent Bush/Cheney

Trump and the GOP will ignore polls to push through their wet-dream agenda of undoing President Obama's legacy. They won it all thanks to those who refused to vote or voted 3rd party.

10. "Nothing" is a thing. It has "thing" right in the word!

11. I just got an email from a midwestern GOP Congressman with an Obamacare survey.

I guess I must have sent an email to him about something at some point. In any case, I predict he won't like my responses. I also pointed out that Obamacare was a GOP plan in the first place and was cooked up by the Heritage Foundation.

12. The very LAST thing that matters is what the American people want as they long as they have

their Republicans in office.
How is that for stupid?
