Polls Show Voters Who Moved From Obama To Trump Now Swayed Away From Trump By ACA Repeal:

[KittyWampus]

Groups -- including American Bridge, the liberal super PAC and opposition research firm led by longtime Clinton adviser David Brock -- have found out through polls and focus groups that voters who backed Obama in 2008 but Trump in 2016 are more swayed by Trump's plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act than they are by other issues.

1. True. I ran across this.

I think some Democrats, and mainly politicians, didn't realize the anger out there about Obamacare among those who had lost their insurance because they couldn't afford it any more, or couldn't find doctors, or got bad care, or whatever. One reason they may have been deaf to it is that you had to actually experience it by buying individual Obamacare plans to understand what was going on. Some of the complaints were unbelievable, but were true, as it turned out.

I heard plenty of anger about it. So I'm not surprised by this at all.

4. The OP wasn't clear. This is voters moving away from Trump because of ACA

[Honeycombe8]

5. Oh....never mind. I misunderstood.But it makes sense if they fell for Trump's line about healthcare,

that they would turn away from him, faced with this nightmare they call a replacement.

[KittyWampus]

7. Absolutely. And I apologize for poorly worded OP I re-did it.

9. Anyone even today, right now can put their zipcode in healthcareDgov and answer all your issues.

Some plans are zero cost.

You can shop all the plans, see the list of area Doctors who accept the plans.

I don't believe those focus group voters were fully informed about ACA- benefits and consumer protection from the Insurance Corporations. Insurance Corporations, all Corporations must be regulated by our Government.

I have an individual plan. On my 3rd year, its been smooth and affordable.

ACA act needs some adjustments not trashing. All large programs like Social Security needed years of adjustments.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Yes...adjustments. The ins. cos. were gaming the system, too. nt

2. And not necessarily by promises to abolish it, but

also by promises to provide "better and cheaper" insurance.

Some months ago I posted about an acquaintance of mine, a warm, generous health-care worker who told me she voted for tRump because that's what she wanted, and it didn't seem to occur to her that he was lying.

13. good point, Republican lied, "everyone would have insurance much better, cross state lines"

Republican 'leaders' stood there for months, for years let their Republican party candidate lie and lie, over & over again. Americas government, Republicans deplorable behavior.

6. Here's the thing

He had a fraudulent university, he stiffed employees and contractors, he conned so many people and they still believed him.

They're idiots

[KittyWampus]

8. But they are malleable idiots.

14. I can't decide if Trump is the reincarnation of Hitler, or P.T. Barnum. n/t

[malaise]

17. Yep he's an evil circus master

but he's been caught

[uponit7771]

15. +1, one reply from a MiniPooting voter I got was " he wouldn't cheat so many voters"...yes he would!

[malaise]

16. and then some

No sympathy for them

10. Can anyone explain the reasoning they might have repeal healthcare coverage?

Frankly the logic escapes me. Do they not connect the dots and see that people will die, get sicker, lose everything they have, be unable to work, and eventually depend on tax money to cover all their expenses? Or is it curtain #1 - the standard Republican line that as long as they've got got theirs, everyone else can just go to hell? I'm leaning toward door #2 - the damned bigots and racists think only 'those' people need Obamacare, so who gives a fuck if they don't have it, right?
