Opposition to the health care law skyrocketed in July to reach the highest point ever, according to a Friday tracking poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The pro-Obamacare health care nonprofit found that 53 percent of Americans view the health care law unfavorably right now, up from 45 percent in June. It’s the largest majority that viewed Obamacare negatively in Kaiser’s monthly polls since the health care law was passed in 2010.
While a majority of Americans say they haven’t been personally impacted, almost twice as many respondents said Obamacare has hurt them than feel they’ve benefited from it. Mostly through rising health care costs and insurance premiums, 28 percent said the law has hurt them, while just 15 percent said they’ve been helped.
It’s less surprising, then, that when asked about personal conversations about the health-care law, just 6 percent said that they’d heard mostly good things. Meanwhile, 27 percent reported that their friends and family had said mostly bad things about the Affordable Care Act (a majority hadn’t discussed it at all).
While the health-care law has reached its lowest popularity ever by Kaiser’s continuous tracking polls, 60 percent of those surveyed hope Congress works to improve the law, rather than repeal it.
