Americans remain deeply divided over Obamacare but have some clear ideas on what should be done if that law is overturned by the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court does rule against Obamacare, 78% want Congress to protect Americans with pre-existing conditions, 74% think every American should be able to buy into the health insurance plans that are available to government employees, and 72% think Congress should act to ensure that children can stay on their parents’ health insurance until age 26.[1]

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of voters believe the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, is unconstitutional. A ScottRasmussen.com national poll found that 41% disagree and 22% are not sure. Several states have filed legal action arguing that the law is unconstitutional, and the Trump administration recently joined the effort to overturn it.
