Survey Finds Support for Health Reform


 

More Americans want to keep or expand the Affordable Care Act than want to repeal it or replace it, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

In its most recent Health Tracking Poll, 49% of the 1,208 adult respondents said that they wanted to expand the law or keep it as it is, compared with 40% who wanted to repeal it or replace it with a Republican alternative, Kaiser found in the survey, which was conducted Aug. 7-12.

In the July poll, for the first time since Kaiser started asking the question in January 2011, more people said that they wanted the health reform law repealed or replaced.
