Seeing that everyone who isn't unemployed is still insured was an important part of Obamacare.
If you had instead eliminated Medicaid entirely and given everyone a basic income that includes enough money to buy insurance you would have gotten more GOP support.
While certain people in the GOP don't like 100% marginal cliffs I don't think they are willing to not put pressure n people to get jobs as it currently stands to get rid of those cliffs.
I've paid a lot of attention to the debate on Obamacare, I don't think I've heard that argument made once.
People in the US generally don't care that much about the poor so nobody frames the argument that way.
On the other hand that there are people who don't get medicare because they work and who can't easily insure themselves was surely part of the debate. Whether or not people use it as a talking point also doesn't matter that much to the practical results of policy.
If the proposal simply would have been Medicaid for everyone, likely more people would have made the argument.
In the big survey, political views are divided into large categories so that statistics are possible. This article is an attempt to supply a text field so that we can get a little better view of the range of beliefs.
My political views aren't adequately expressed by "libertarian". I call myself a liberal-flavored libertarian, by which I mean that I want the government to hurt people less. The possibility that the government is giving too much to poor people is low on my list of concerns. I also believe that harm-causing processes should be shut down before support systems
So, what political beliefs do you have that don't match the usual meaning of your preferred label?
