  1. Survey: Most Republicans Who Bought Obamacare Coverage Like Their Plans

    About three-quarters of Republicans who obtained health insurance under Obamacare are satisfied with their coverage, according to a survey published Thursday by the Commonwealth Fund.

    The survey found that 74 percent of Republicans said they were very or somewhat satisfied with their new coverage. Overall, 78 percent of Americans said they were satisfied: 73 percent of those enrolled in a private plan and 84 percent of those enrolled in Medicaid.

    There was a minimal difference between the previously uninsured and the previously insured: 79 percent of the former were satisfied and 77 percent of the latter were, according to the survey by the group, which is generally supportive of Obamacare.

    Those surveyed also reported being better off: 58 percent said that they were better off now than they were before, while 9 percent said they were worse off. And 81 percent said that they were optimistic that their new coverage would help them get the health care they need.

    Some of the survey's broader findings, on the overall drop in the number of uninsured and the percentage of Obamacare enrollees who were previously uninsured, generally fell within other findings. It found that the uninsured rate for adults under 65 fell from 20 percent to 15 percent since Obamacare enrollment began. It also found that 63 percent of Obamacare enrollees had been previously uninsured.

    The survey, conducted from April 9 to June 2, covered 4,425 U.S. adults.

    I've read somewhere long time ago that they in dc made themselves exempt from obamacare.
     
  5. Yes, also the people from the unions and the staff from the congress etc.

    But more importantly, the study is 'are you satisfied with the service of your care' not the price.

    Mine was $350/month before, with obamacare it jumped to $1150 a month. And I couldn't keep my previous plan, I had to change. What's up with that?

    A poll of beer drinkers...
    2 out of 3 rated the taste of Bud Light as good or better than Coors Light.
    Coors then used the study touting 2 out 3 rated the taste of Coors Light as good or better than Bud Light.

    Very or somewhat satisfied with their new coverage... ha!

    A stupid analogy. A corrupt corporation lies about a survey, therefore everybody lies about surveys. That's just braindead.

    Clearly you do not have an accurate understanding or any formal knowledge regarding the science of opinion polls.
