Will More Amercans Support The Affordable Care Act Now That It Has Passed Constitutional Muster?

[Live and Learn]

10. Definitely. I have seen it happen already too.

The passage got people talking about it. It is amazing how many people still don't realize that this will help them.

My boss was always against it so the passage led us to talk about it. I mentioned that now his daughter who had just graduated college but is still unemployed will at least have insurance and he was dumbfounded.

"I thought they had to be in school", says he.

"Nope, covered till age 26 under your plan.", says I. "You don't even know what it covers."

He admitted that and then asked why so many were against it then. Seems he was against it just because others were. When I told him some were against it because they thought their care wouldn't be as good if others got it, he was aghast and said that was selfish.

I shared some of the other reasons both liberals and conservatives have given for being against it. (Told him I would have preferred the truly "socialistic" Single Payer.) I also shared a list of what the act entails with him. Pretty sure he supports it now.
