Poll: PPACA Opposition Returns to Pre-HealthCare.gov Rollout Levels

The percentage of Americans who oppose the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has dropped back to the level it was before HealthCare.gov’s glitch-ridden launch, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Forty-nine percent of Americans surveyed said they oppose the healthcare reform law, down from a record-high of 57 percent last month, according to the poll. Overall, Americans’ perceptions of the law’s impact remain negative, with only 19 percent saying the PPACA has improved the healthcare system overall.

A Gallup poll released earlier this month found a majority of Americans favor scaling back or repealing the reform law. Of those surveyed from Dec.3 to Dec. 4, 20 percent said they would like to see Congress scale the law back, and 32 percent said they want it repealed entirely. Twenty percent responded they would favor expanding the law, while 17 percent would prefer keeping it as-is, according to the poll.
