Interesting Bloomberg poll.

[Link: media.bloomberg.com…]

The people polled seem to want The Affordable Health Care Act repealed (42% keep to 47% repeal) when asked, but don’t want to get rid of any of the parts of it except for taxing employers who provide “generous” health insurance benefits (31% keep to 61% repeal) and with a smaller spread the mandate (45% keep to 51% repeal).
I think this may be the 2nd or third poll to find that Americans want the stuff in the AHCA…they just seem to not realize that those are provisions within the Act they want to repeal.

They also found that people really, really do not like groups not disclosing who their donors are.

it was the same through the whole second half of the (death panel dominated) debate -

“are you in favour of the bill?” - NO

“are you in favour of A, B, C, D and E?” - YES

“did you know that they are in the above bill?” - NO
