Big reason Obamacare was so unpopular is that it hit a lot of affluent but not rich people.

#Obamacare approval is net positive, with about half the country favoring it. So I'm not sure it's "so unpopular."pic.twitter.com/B5z5v6aAjg

It's only been "popular" for three months. Was drowning until then, barely has its head above the water now.

But the taxes, subsidies, premiums and deductibles didn't change, so it's hard to say that's the cause.

Fear, pretty much. People hated Ocare for what it changed. Now it's what's there, so people don't want it to change.
