American health care policy, and the attitudes surrounding it,have shifted dramatically over the last few years. Currently, morethan one-third of Americans are confident in the health caresystem, but that confidence changes when it comes to politicalparties.

When the Affordable Care Act when into effect in 2014, there wasa shift of Democrats reporting stronger faith in the Americanhealth care system. Before the ACA was law, Republicans andright-leaning Independents were more confidence in the country’shealth system.

Today, Democrats have more faith on how the country is insuringpeople, with 40 percent telling a recent Gallup poll they are confident in thehealth system. That’s compared to 33 percent of Republicans who saythe same thing.

Republicans were the more confident about health care policy for20 years, right up until major components of the ACA went intoeffect.

The divide is more stark when you ask people their thoughts onthe ACA itself. Almost 90 percent of Democrats support the law,while only 19 percent of Republicans are in favor.

A recent poll from Politico/Morning Consult looksmore closely at Republican support for ACA repeal efforts, as theSenate struggles to find a passable alternative to Barack Obama’slandmark health bill.

The poll shows a majority of Republican voters (67 percent) wantSenate Republicans to keep up their mission to repeal the ACAdespite several setbacks, including a delayed recess to get the votes necessary tomake one of Donald Trump’s major campaign promises a reality.

While the poll sheds light on how Republicans feel about gettingrid of Obamacare, it also shows voters on the right may be ready tosee compromise to get the bill in place.

Fifty-four percent of those Republican voters who say they stillwant the ACA repealed also say they want Senate Republicans to workwith Democrats to achieve that goal, compared to 39 percent who saythe GOP should only work within its own party to reform healthcare. Only 21 percent of Republicans polled say they want GOPleaders to move on, compared to 47 percent of all voters.

A bipartisan effort might be a step in the right direction, as44 percent of voters trust congressional Democrats more to handlehealth care.

While these numbers reflect the general population, anothergroup of people is incredibly concerned with how the healthinsurance industry will be impacted by Washington’s decisions. Forthose providing health benefits to their employees or hiringpart-time workers who don’t receive health benefits, leaders ofcompanies are worried about how health care changes will affecttheir workplaces.

The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans recently surveyed employers, and found 71percent don’t want the ACA completely repealed.

The main concern employers have is going through anothersystem-wide change, something companies faced when the ACA firstwent into effect.

The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans surveyasked if the ACA employer mandate was overturned, would employerscontinue to provide health care for their employees. Almostall (96 percent) respondents say yes, but for those who respondedno, more than 60 percent say it’s because of the high price ofhealth care.

Employers also have opinions about specific provisions of theACA: More than 70 percent support tax-favored status ofemployer-provided health coverage for employers and for employees,while they overwhelmingly oppose the Cadillac Tax which puts anexcise tax on high-cost plans.
