A new study finds the Americans most likely to be affected by the proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act tend to strongly support all the ACA's provisions — with one exception.

The Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS), conducted by researchers at the Urban Institute, found high levels of support for provisions such as guaranteed issue (providing coverage regardless of health status), allowing young adults to stay on parents' insurance, Medicaid expansion, and requiring coverage of essential benefits.

Looking closely at attitudes on the ACA

The study says as talk of replacing the ACA continues in Washington, D.C., many Americans still value the specific provisions written into the health reform law.

"Most adults are aware of the potential for replacement of the ACA and prefer to keep rather than repeal key ACA provisions other than the individual mandate," the report says. "Support for these provisions is particularly high among adults with Marketplace coverage or Medicaid, who gain the most benefit from the ACA, but adults with non-Marketplace, nongroup coverage also express majority support."
