As the United States approaches the roll-out of the final most complex phases of the Affordable Care Act, The Takeaway is examining the impact on the current healthcare system and hurdles associated with implementation.
We partnered with YouGov to run a nationally representative Omnibus Survey of 1000 U.S adults on the Affordable Care Act. The results below show that around two-thirds of respondents have either little or no understanding of the law and the majority of people say they feel less positive about the reforms taking place than they did a year ago.
Do you think that healthcare reform will increase or decrease the amount your spend on healthcare?
Do you find the current healthcare system bureaucratic and/or easy to navigate? I find the current healthcare system:
Do you think that the Affordable Care Act will be more or less bureaucratic than the current healthcare system?
Do you think you have a clear understanding of all the elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?
Now that elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have started to be implemented how do you feel about the ACA? Are your feelings more or less positive about the ACA this year compared to last year?
Full results can be found on the YouGov website here.
