high-profile technical problems have tarnished the deployment of government health online exchanges since 1 October, but a Gallup poll conducted October 18-20, just days after the end of the government shutdown, showed that the US views are now slightly more positive with respect to the law.
When asked, "do you approve or disapprove of the 2010 Law on affordable care in general, signed into law by President Obama that restructured the US health care system" 45 percent said they approve, while 50 percent disapprove. This approval rate edged up four points since August Also note, the disapproval rate also rose 1 percent.
The Takeaway?
With functionality issues between insurance markets online, consumers are right to criticize the health law. However, given the recent survey results, it appears that, overall, these problems are not negatively affected the view of American law.
Additional research Gallup shows that the majority of Americans still prefer that Congress change the ACA somehow, either repealed, making scale back or spread.
Another interesting point revealed by the study is that young Americans (18-29) consider the health care law more positively than middle-aged and older Americans. It could be that young adults have higher uninsured rates and acceptance is crucial to the overall success of the law.
