Remember this chart when Democrats continue to talk about the need to keep ObamaCare but just fix its “problems.” The main reason offered for allowing the government to force everyone to participate in the command health-care economy was to make it easier for the uninsured to get coverage. If that’s the case, why do the uninsured actually hate ObamaCare more than the rest of America?

More proof that Obamacare stinks.

Naturally your biased site cherry picked through the Kaiser poll and hit on the one stat. I'll give you and everyone a link to the actual Kaiser poll and when read in total content, the poll shows a much better public feeling towards Obamacare. Here's my cherry picked paragraph from the actual poll rather than from your right wing fringe site.

When it comes to next steps on the law, a majority say it should be kept in place, including 48 percent who want Congress to work to improve it and 8 percent who say it should be kept as is. Fewer say Congress should repeal the law and replace it with a Republican-sponsored alternative (12 percent) or repeal it and not replace it (19 percent). Like opinions on the law overall, views about next steps are deeply divided by political party identification, with most Democrats preferring to keep the law in place and a majority of Republicans wanting to see it repealed. Among independents, more than half want Congress to keep the law as is or work to improve it, while a third prefer to see it repealed.

I will say this: if I were a deadbeat, content on getting 'free' medical treatment at local county hospitals and clinics, I would very much hate to have to pay out any money whatsoever for health insurance. It is the deadbeats way. It is why they are 'deadbeats'.

It is exactly what most the right wing fringe, Obamacare haters on this thread have said and posted they will do.
Personal responsibility goes out the window when it comes to health care insurance. Personal responsibility only applies to those who have lost their job and need unemployment insurance, unwed mothers who need welfare, and seniors and poor who need food stamps.

Personal responsibility is a good thing. Responsible to pay for everyone else is out of hand.

Stepfather's niece paid $0 for a 2+ month NICU stay for her 3 month preemie because she was on Mediaid. Our 1 month NICU bill for our daughter was $80,000, of which we were responsible for $3,000. Private insurance footed at least 15K of that bill.

If you are going to have children, why not just quit your job, survive on 20K working as a pizza delivery person, take up cash only jobs on the side, get Medicaid/EBT/etc, then start trying for a baby? After you have all the children you want, return to your main career path.

Its mostly younger people who thought it was single payer how realizing the true 'who pay" that are unhappy along with many employees who had Cadillac company plans finding they will lose them to avoid the Cadillac plan tax. Only happy is those who are heavily subsidized that didn't have insurance. I think as time goes o we will see exchanges taking burden off more and more companies who love ridden themselves of it and handing it over to government.Many have already changed benefits in general to maintain cost as allowed under law. No different than what has happened to pensions really .

That is where you are wrong. I'm not going to pay for "health insurance", but that does not mean that I won't pay my own damn bills if I do have to go visit a doctor/hospital. That's what liberals do not seem to understand about the right. We'll pay, we just don't want to pay for you, as well. Earn your own keep.

Yup because I am sure you can afford a six figure hospital bill after coming g down with a severe flu or a case of pneumonia. I am sure you will sell your house and pay off your bills correct? Or is your plan to declare bankruptcy and have premium paying individuals and tax payers pick up your slack?
