The progressive group Americans United for Change recently commissioned a poll that indicates the majority of Americans believe Obamacare subsidies should remain following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in King v. Burwell.
The poll, conducted last week by the liberal-leaning group, Public Policy Polling, included 530 voters.
Apparently, 61 percent of participants said low-income Americans should be eligible for the subsidies regardless of which state they live in, and 50 percent of Republicans believe the subsidies should be upheld.
A Personalized Approach to Medication Nonadherence
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
The Hill reported:
A majority of people also said they hope Congress will take action if the court rules against the Obama administration. Just 28 percent of people said they’d be less likely to vote for their representative in Congress if he or she decided to fix the Affordable Care Act to preserve the subsidies.
As the comments in The Hill piece indicate, some are hesitant to believe these numbers reflect the country’s perspective as whole, considering it was conducted by a liberal group.
Commenting user Cayo said, “Progressive polls are just as bad as conservative polls. They’re not to be trusted.”
BioLabs Pegasus Park Cultivates Life Science Ecosystem
Gabby Everett, the site director for BioLabs Pegasus Park, offered a tour of the space and shared some examples of why early-stage life science companies should choose North Texas.
The GOP has said they will have a solid replacement plan in place should the case, set for a ruling at the end of the month, override the current subsidy eligibility. But even with a new bill proposed, chances are high that it would be met with a veto from the president.
