Comment on Half of Americans wrongly believe ObamaCare is costing more than originally planned

Half of Americans wrongly believe ObamaCare is costing more than originally planned

Support for ObamaCare is creeping up, and it could tick even higher if Americans were better informed about the specifics of the law, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Tuesday. In the survey, only eight percent of adults correctly responded that ObamaCare is costing less than expected. Meanwhile, 50 percent of adults — and a whopping 70 percent of Republicans — said it was costing more than planned, while 18 percent said the cost remained unchanged, and 23 percent were unsure. In March, a Congressional Budget Office report concluded ObamaCare would cost 11 percent less than expected. Despite that confusion, though, for the first time since November 2012 a plurality of Americans hold a favorable opinion of the law.
