Poll: 80 percent of voters disapprove of GOP handling of health care

Source: Politico

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 healthcare—including 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.

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.

Repukes don't care about polls.
They don't care about what the "people" want;
They only care about the top 1 percent and large corporations, including Big Pharma, Wall Street banks, & the Military Industrial Complex....Period!

GOP states move to cut Medicaid
BY NATHANIEL WEIXEL AND RACHEL ROUBEIN - 08/03/17 06:00 AM EDT

Republican governors are working with the Trump administration to do something Congress couldn’t 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.

the pukes are ginning up the racism and culture wars. Get their idiot base riled up and willing to vote puke again despite the disastrous policies on healthcare and everything else.

Bunch of morans.
