Political Parties

The primary take away from Altman’s talk is the power of partisanship in explaining health policy positions. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is growing in popularity, with 48 percent now supporting it and 41 percent opposing (April 2017). Party differences remain extreme. Over 70 percent of Democrats support the ACA compared with only 17 percent of Republicans. The gap, by political party, of those that support repeal of the ACA, is similarly wide, with 81 percent of Republicans in support of repeal compared to 19 percent of Democrats.
