This week, the American Action Network released unsurprising polling data that show 54 percent of Americans want full repeal of the Affordable Care Act, or major changes to it. Support for repeal reaches 70 percent under the condition that lawmakers provide a transition period ensuring that current ACA beneficiaries can keep coverage while new reforms are implemented.

The ACA, which has already started to unravel legislatively, has never been overwhelmingly popular with the public. However, as the AAN poll affirms, two key provisions in the Affordable Care Act are popular: Fully 92 percent of people favor the rule that requires insurance companies to cover pre-existing health conditions, and 79 percent favor the requirement that allows parents to keep their children on their plans until the age of 26. Because of their popularity, some Republicans are discussing keeping these rules.
