The days of national debate
over Obamacare may be over. The Republicans may want to move on to other
issues.

The most comprehensive survey yet of Obamacare enrollees
finds that the vast majority are happy with their insurance plans. The Kaiser
Family Foundation poll released today found that three-quarters of those with
Marketplace coverage from Affordable Care Act rate their overall coverage as
excellent or good. Only 7 percent say it’s poor.

When the survey drilled down it found that at least seven
in ten say they are “very” or “somewhat” satisfied with their plan’s choice of
primary care doctors, hospitals, co-pays for doctor’s visits, and prescription
coverage. About two-thirds say they are satisfied with their choice of
specialists.

Clearly, the mess created by the disastrous healthcare.gov
rollout is long gone.

A large majority of those who renewed an ACA plan this
year told KFF that it was very or somewhat easy to renew. About half were
automatically re-enrolled, while 46 percent say they took action to renew – and
in some cases modify — their coverage.

In addition, most enrollees say their initial shopping
for the right plan was easy.

However, the survey is not all good news for President
Obama’s health care reforms.

Those with high-deductible plans are much less satisfied
with their ACA insurance than other enrollees. And, like nearly everything else
in America these days, a partisan political divide tilts the scales.

Despite the widespread satisfaction with the Marketplace
system, when politics was thrown into the mix 55 percent of Republican
enrollees say they still have a “very unfavorable” view of the ACA while 45
percent  of Democrats proclaim a “very
favorable” view.

Sarah Kliff of Vox explains those numbers this way: “The
law, for many, has become a proxy for what people think about President Obama,
and less about what the health reform law actually does.”
