Americans Divided On Next Steps With ACA Download Source Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Polls…
The December Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds a 13 percentage point rebound in Democratic support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but no overall change in support or opposition since November. In spite of all the attention and controversy surrounding the law and its implementation, the poll finds that nearly half of the public say it won't make much difference to them or their families.

Amid heavy news coverage of problems with the Affordable Care Act's rollout, the November Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds a significant negative shift in the public's views of the law, with roughly half now holding an unfavorable view and just a third holding a positive one.
After the October start of open enrollment, under the Affordable Care Act, many journalists, policymakers, and the public at large are eager for early data indicating how the law is working from the perspective of potential enrollees. In particular, given the problems with Healthcare.Gov and some of the state exchange websites, many people want quantitative data about people’s experiences attempting to purchase or enroll in some sort of health insurance coverage using these mechanisms.
This Data Note raises a note of caution about the possible pitfalls of using standard national public opinion polls to make judgments about Americans’ early experiences with health plan enrollment under the ACA.
