Staff Report
A new poll by the non-profir Kaiser Foundation has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans say they like provisions in the law that eliminate out-of-pocket costs for many preventive services such as cancer screenings and that allow young adults to remain on their parents’ health plans until they are 26.
Even the law’s program for providing federal aid to states to help them expand their Medicaid programs for the poor is supported by 80% of Americans.
“While President-elect Donald Trump and Republican leaders in Congress work on a replacement to the Affordable Care Act, the new poll finds many of the law’s specific provisions remain popular even among President-elect Trump’s supporters, potentially complicating the path ahead,” the survey’s authors note.
