The most popular parts of the law are tax benefits for small businesses to buy insurance and closing the Medicare “doughnut hole,” though these remain some of the least well-known aspects. Conversely, the least popular element – the individual mandate to purchase health insurance or else pay a penalty – is the most recognized component of the PPACA.
On the subjects of health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion, 77 percent reported they have heard little to nothing on their state’s plans to operate a health insurance exchange, and 78 percent reported they have not heard enough to know whether their governor plans to expand or not expand Medicaid. Governor Perry has stated Texas will not expand Medicaid.
Overall outlook on the PPACA remains divided along partisan lines. Read the complete poll.
