70 Percent of Americans Think the Affordable Care Act Is Here To Stay

A new Associated Press poll finds most Americans believe there is no stopping the Affordable Care Act. About 7 in 10 of those surveyed think President Obama's health care reform law will take effect. Just 12 percent say they expect the "Obamacare" to be repealed completely. The law covers 30 million uninsured, requires every U.S. resident to carry health insurance, forbids insurers from turning away the sick, and forces faith-based groups to offer birth control to their workers.
