AFAIK this is the latest polling on the ACA favorables.

The medicaid bits are truly eye-opening.

Part of the problem of the Medicaid question is that the options were to keep Medicaid as is, or choose between two replacements. Dan Ariely has talked about this as leading to a natural default to the status quo.

Oh I see, thanks.

Hey do you happen to understand why getting rid of the ACA taxes in 2017 lets them cut even more taxes in 2018 via reconciliation without the 10-year sunset. I don't get that part.

They want to get rid of $1T in ACA taxes. If they can offset them with Medicaid cuts in the AHCA bill, that's $1T closer to revenue neutrality in the tax bill and then they can use reconciliation.
