This is the one he tried to veto large parts of, and got veto'd on in return, right?More like Romneycare in Massachussetts.

Yes, but you leave out details to make the post. God bless McCain, for not being railroaded by the Illinois Democrat in sheep's clothing(now reworded by me for the 5k'th time, to you).More like Romneycare in Massachussetts.
So you agree that something is deeply wrong in the Republican Party when all it took was a Democrat to propose the plan for nearly every Republican in the country to bitterly oppose it?
Anyway, in 2024 election news:
Trump evokes more anger and fear from Democrats than Biden does from Republicans, AP-NORC poll shows
Many Americans are unenthusiastic about a November rematch of the 2020 presidential election. But presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump appears to stoke more fear and anger among Democrats than President Joe Biden does among Republicans.apnews.com
Polling constantly returns strong support for the ACA among Americans in general. Republicans included.
Views of the ACA are still largely driven by partisanship; nearly nine in ten Democrats (87%) along with over half of independents (55%) view the law favorably, while about two thirds of Republicans (67%) hold unfavorable views.

The catch of course is that Republicans, when polled on the ACA, will typically say that they approve of the individual components and provisions. Its only when its referred to as "Obamacare" or "Affordable Care Act/ACA" and they are aware that "Affordable Care Act/ACA" is the official name for Obamacare, that they express opposition/disapproval. If they don't know that the ACA is Obamacare and they are simply told what the ACA does, they approve.Oh, is that so?

Shoving the Republican poll respondents out of the way for a second, how is it only 89% of Democrats and 73% of Independents agreed that "Prohibit[ing] health insurance companies from denying coverage to pregnant women" was a "very important" feature of the ACA (as of 2019)?Oh, is that so?

That's the one, correct.
The general irony with the Farm Boy framing of the ACA is that the core "Republican healthcare plan" part of it is the horsehockytiest part by far (the healthcare exchanges) while by far the most successful parts are the "socialized medicine" parts (requiring insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions and expanding Medicaid).
Yup. People are political idiots, more at 11. But it was probably stupider yet to get higher education on the topic.The catch of course is that Republicans, when polled on the ACA, will typically say that they approve of the individual components and provisions.

If they don't know that the ACA is Obamacare and they are simply told what the ACA does, they approve.
There have even been some funny anecdotal videos where a Republican voter is told all about the ACA and what it does and they say they like it, but then they are told that the ACA is Obamacare and they suddenly say that they no longer approve of all the stuff that they literally just said they approve of. Classic doublethink.
I've got a hot take on that one.Shoving the Republican poll respondents out of the way for a second, how is it only 89% of Democrats and 73% of Independents agreed that "Prohibit[ing] health insurance companies from denying coverage to pregnant women" was a "very important" feature of the ACA (as of 2019)?
I was liking specifically this within the post:Also @Gori the Grey careful with likes...that poll also says Rs feel a lot more positively about Trump than Ds feel about Biden, which could be bad for Biden.
I guess the way to like just a portion of a post is to quote it and say, what? "This," "+1," something.So you agree that something is deeply wrong in the Republican Party when all it took was a Democrat to propose the plan for nearly every Republican in the country to bitterly oppose it?
I guess that's as good a hypothesis as any. I was thinking that there could be some Democrats and Independents who are "left-leaning Libertarians" who still think the marketplace should govern the provision of healthcare, or perhaps just that insurance companies shouldn't be forced into selling their products at a loss.There could be a lot of anti-Trump conservatives currently holding their noses and supporting the Democrats, the people who like to say they're "liberal on social issues but conservative on fiscal policy." For example, I believe both US Senators and both Representatives from New Hampshire are currently all Democrats, even though the Governor is a Republican and Republicans have a slight majority in the state legislature.I've got a hot take on that one.
When you say the phrase "pregnant women", different images are going to be invoked for different people. Some folks hear "pregnant women" in this context, and the image/association they immediately make is that of the "welfare queen", some hypothetically lazy, entitled, promiscuous, etc., you get the idea... a young woman who in their view/imagination is just irresponsibly having numerous babies, with multiple partners, out of wedlock... and so on... and is living on "the public dole" so to speak.
So for those folks, they look down on such a hypothetical woman, and don't think she "deserves" health insurance coverage, whereby "everybody else has to pay" for her poor choices/lifestyle. I think that may explain part of the percentage of respondents you are questioning.
Good scene... great movie.Yup. People are political idiots, more at 11. But it was probably stupider yet to get higher education on the topic.
Thaddeus says some interesting bits in.
Using a condom of course.Even if it's just, "I don't want to pay for your kids, f off."
