I think Common Core math shows that 45% = EVERYFUCKINGBODY!!!

The point is that people actually do like what the bill does.

Yet 55% of the people view Obamacare unfavorably, right?

I love when you pretend to not understand.

Most people (70-80% depending on the specific issue) like the things Obamacare does. They just don't like the thing called Obamacare. It's a disconnect.

From NPR:

DROPP: We talked to 2,000 Americans around the country, and we asked them if they thought the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare were the same policy, whether they were different policies or whether they weren't sure. And something like 35 percent of Americans did not realize that they were the same policy. And that number spiked among millennials and among adults with lower incomes who came from those households. And these are specific populations that might most be affected by some of the policy proposals.

SINGH: There is an additional 45 percent of those that were reached that said they didn't know that if Obamacare was repealed that would mean that the Affordable Care Act would disappear.

One thing that we separately tested - we ran an experiment where we asked half of people, do you approve or disapprove of the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare? A few things stand out. Mentioning Obamacare polarizes people in a way that the Affordable Care Act does not. So for instance, 80 percent of Republicans strongly disapprove of Obamacare. Only about 60 percent strongly disapprove of the Affordable Care Act.

I agree that it is silly that people are so dumb. But it's true.
