The ACA turned 12 in March, and 55 percent of people surveyed by the Kaiser Family Foundation hold a favorable opinion of the law.
Kaiser Family Foundation public opinion researchers conducted the survey between March 15 and 22 online and by phone among a nationally representative sample of 1,243 U.S. adults. More information about the methodology can be found here.
Views on the ACA are still largely driven by partnership, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Eight-seven percent of Democrats and 58 percent of independents view the law favorably. Meanwhile, 79 percent of Republicans hold unfavorable views.
Attitudes toward the ACA have been more favorable than unfavorable since Republican efforts to repeal the law in summer 2017, according to Kaiser Family Foundation data.
Here are the five most popular provisions of the ACA, according to the foundation:
1. Prohibiting health insurance companies from denying coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.
2. Prohibiting health insurance companies from charging sick people more.
3. Prohibiting health insurance companies from denying coverage to pregnant women.
4. Requiring health insurance companies to cover the cost for most preventive services.
5. Prohibiting health insurance companies from setting a lifetime limit.
