******************************
Voters Dislike Obamacare but Still Think Obama Cares
Many polls have shown that the voters dislike Obamacare
(although when asked why, about 10-15% oppose it from left--they want a single-payer system like Canada has).
Nevertheless,
several recent polls show the voters trust Obama more than Romney on health care.
How can that be?
For starters,
Romney has said he will repeal and replace Obamacare, but he has refused to say what he will replace it with.
Some voters may think the replacement will be worse than Obamacare.
Second, although Obamacare in the abstract is not popular,
many of the specific items in it are.
Some have already taken effect so people are getting the benefit of them.
For example, Obamacare requires insurance companies to accept all young adults up to 26 on their parents' plan and 3 million of them have taken advantage of this provision.
Another popular provision is that insurance companies may not refuse to insure children, even if they have an expensive preexisting condition.
Also, since Aug. 1, 2012, some forms of preventive care, including HIV and HPC testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies are free.
People who have been informed of this by their insurance company may not want Romney to take these benefits away.
Nevertheless, Paul Ryan reiterated that Republicans will start the process of repealing Obamacare on their first day in office.
