Health Reform – Consumer Thoughts about ACA and Healthcare

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll from March 2022 shows 55% of the public had a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010. A substantial majority (87%) of Democrats continue to support ACA, while 79% of Republicans do not support it. Nearly 6 in 10 (58%) of Independents have a favorable opinion of the law (38% of Independents are unfavorable). Support for the ACA was favorable in all income brackets. However, by age group, only half of the 50 to 64 year olds are favorable toward the ACA. The Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows results back to 2010. The latest update published March 2022. According to a Pew survey (published October 20, 2022), Health care was the second most important issue for Democrats in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections (after Abortion). However, for a majority of Republicans, only Immigration was a very important issue.
