August 20, 2020: Twenty-five percent (25%) of voters believe the U.S. healthcare system was broken before Obamacare and is working much better today. However, a Texas Public Policy Foundation poll found that 21% take the opposite view. They believe our healthcare system was working fine before it was broken by Obamacare.[1]

However, a solid plurality–39%–don't see much change in either direction.[1] They believe our healthcare system was broken before Obamacare was passed and it is still broken today. Fourteen percent (14%) of voters are not sure.[1]

Democrats are fairly evenly divided between thinking things are better now and that little has changed. Republicans are fairly evenly divided between thinking things are worse now and that little has changed. A plurality of independent voters believe the system was broken before Obamacare and remains broken today.[1]

Younger voters are somewhat more likely than their elders to believe little has changed.[1]
