More Americans likely to oppose Trump in 2020 because of his handling of health care: poll
While 23% of those polled said Trump's stance on health care would compel them to vote for his reelection, 40% said they likely will not support him next year because of it. Of the remaining voters, 33% said health care is not a factor in who they'll vote for, while 5% said they had no opinion on Trump's handling of health care.
Trump and congressional Republicans have vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, pledging to deliver on one of Trump's main campaign promises. Despite Trump's assertion that Republicans will become "The Party of Healthcare," Republicans don't have another health-care plan in place and are waiting until the GOP regains control of the House of Representatives to unveil a replacement proposal.
Hudak said Obamacare's individual provisions, like Medicaid expansion, protecting preexisting conditions and allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance plans until they are 26 years old, are "wildly popular" with citizens. In December, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor of Texas said that without a rule that requires Americans to have health insurance or face a tax penalty, Obamacare cannot stand. The Trump administration reduced the tax penalty — called the individual mandate — to $0 in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
