President Obama's healthcare law
is hated and loved by some so much that they are willing to shut down the
government over it. I'm not sure I've ever seen so much passion over an issue
about which so few (myself included) know as much as we should.
I wrote about this divide when Obamacare was in front of the US supreme court. Americans were opposed
to "Obamacare", or the Affordable Care Act, yet they were in favor of
many of its provisions. Not surprisingly, Americans lacked knowledge of what
exactly the law did.
So, as the political fight has intensified, on the
eve of implementation of one of the ACA's key provisions, the creation of new
health insurance pools, how much has changed? Does the noisy debate on the ACA
mean Americans are better-informed than before about Obamacare? Here are five
ways Americans' opinions about Obamacare have and have not evolved over the past
year.
