I’d be happy too, if someone else was paying the bulk of my insurance premium

Three out of four aren’t paying any premiums.

“...Republicans were far more likely than Democrats to say they were harmed by the law, at a rate of 55 percent to 19 percent...”

That’s because the republicans mostly all work and make money therefor they have to pay the higher premiums whereas the democrats get the big subsidies.

And 3/4 of the people are satisfied with their food stamps, Obamaphones, and welfare.

They obviously didn’t survey the millions who have their insurance cut back and premiums increase.

Yeah, but what about the one in four that is NOT satisfied? What’s being done for that person, who has just found out the monthly premium is going UP, and the plan has not provided one benefit? Or probably worse, the “benefit” is there, but the co-pays come to more than never having the plan in the first place, and having to pay out-of-pocket AND the penalties assessed as well.

Some things are just not a bargain at any price. Folks are starting to realize that.

What a bunch of gobbledegook!

But 0bamacare IS working insomuch as we’re that much closer to Nationalized Healthcare - which was always the end goal, even back when Hillary! was touting it.

Since 80% are on Medicaid or receive subsidies, 3/4 seems about right.

“according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation.”

Stop the presses right there. The Kaiser family foundation foundation has been a known liberal SHILL for obamacare right from the very beginning. This isnt the first time theyve pulled out a phony and fixed survey/study out of their butts showing how wonderful obamacare is and how much most people like it. No doubt this wont be the last time either.

Since the majority are on expanded Medicaid, why would this be a surprise?

Since I am self-employed, I had to get an ObamaCare policy.

So far, I don’t mind saying that the policy itself has been satisfactory in that I did not have to change doctors, my out of pocket costs are in line with expectations, and so forth.

On the other hand, the premium is astronomical. Since I don’t qualify for a subsidy, the premium for my wife and me runs $15000 per year. That’s about 80% higher than my previous coverage.

I have not doubt about the veracity of this survey, but only because about 85% of ObamaCare policyholders get subsidized by taxpayers. It’s kind of like Medicare: the coverage isn’t bad if you can get the taxpayers to pay for it.

What coverage? Free preventative care?

How many of that majority can afford to get sick considering the deductibles which have to be met? In general the “insurance” (if you want to call it that) is for check ups and screenings and free contraceptives.

If one cannot afford to pay enormous deductibles for illness there is no insurance.
