A Quinnipiac University poll shows staggering opposition among registered voters towards Republican-led efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, with 80 percent of voters disapproving of the way Republicans in Congress are handling healthcareincluding 60 percent of self-identified Republicans.
Sixty-four percent of voters across the ideological spectrum disapprove of Republican ideas to replace Obamacare, while just 25 percent are in favor of the legislation presented thus far.
As for outright repeal, only 22 percent of voters surveyed say President Donald Trump and the GOP should repeal the entirety of the Affordable Care Act. Forty percent are in favor of repealing parts of Obamacare, while 33 percent do not want any repeals at all.
Medicaid remains a touchy subject in the poll, with voters opposing a decrease in funding to the program 69 percent to 26 percent, including 52 percent of Republicans opposing cuts while just 39 percent remain in favor of austerity.

(32,767 posts)Certainly the GOP themselves aren't happy with their performance.
The only people who said "yes" would be the ones who aren't paying attention.

They only care about the top 1 percent and large corporations, including Big Pharma, Wall Street banks, & the Military Industrial Complex....Period!

Republican governors are working with the Trump administration to do something Congress couldnt accomplish: fundamentally alter their state Medicaid programs.
At least six states with GOP governors Arkansas, Kentucky, Arizona, Maine, Wisconsin and Indiana have already drafted plans meant to introduce new rules people would have to meet to be eligible for Medicaid, which provides healthcare to low-income Americans and those with certain disabilities.
