Is It True? Do Doctors Really Loathe Obamacare?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also called Obamacare, has been a lightning rod since it was signed into law in 2010.

Five years after its enactment, the healthcare reform legislation still divides the American public. In a Gallup poll taken in early April, 50 percent of people surveyed said they disapprove of the act while 44 percent said they approve.

So, perhaps it’s no surprise that America’s 1 million doctors appear to be as split on Obamacare as the general public.

The Physicians Foundation released a survey last fall in which 20,000 doctors responded by email to an array of questions.

Of the respondents, 46 percent gave Obamacare a D or F grade, while 25 percent gave it an A or B grade.


In addition, two-thirds of those responding said they did not accept health insurance plans offered through the Affordable Care Act’s online insurance exchanges.

Those who oppose Obamacare say the survey is an accurate reflection of the country’s medical profession.

Those who support the law are quick to point out the survey was not a scientific poll. They say people who respond to email queries tend to be more critical than the general population.
