Seniors Oppose Obamacare by 27 Points

Published



The Obama administration’s taxpayer-funded, pro-Obamacare TV ads directed toward seniors don’t seem to be working. The new Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows that, by a margin of 27 percentage points, seniors have an unfavorable, rather than a favorable, view of Obamacare. That’s the highest margin of opposition among seniors in the 11 Kaiser Health Tracking Polls that have been conducted since Obamacare’s passage.

Less than a third of all seniors (32 percent) now have a favorable view of Obamacare. The vast majority (59 percent) has an unfavorable view of it.  Perhaps that’s because Obamacare would be paid for (at least, that which would actually be paid for) largely by treating Medicare like a piggy bank.
