One-third of American adults believe that President Trump has successfully repealed Obamacare, a new poll from the Economist and YouGov finds.
The poll of 1,000 adults shows that 31 percent believe Trump has repealed the Affordable Care Act, 49 percent say he hasnt, and 21 percent are unsure.
Of those who identify as Republican voters, 44 percent say that Trump has repealed Obamacare.
Just to be clear, Trump hasnt repealed Obamacare. Most of the Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land. But the Republicans new tax bill did repeal a key feature of the law, the requirement that all Americans carry health insurance coverage.

Go back to the days of "well, if you aren't covered by your large corporate insurance plan... and you have any pre-existing condition, you are just f'd."
Because so many of the people that would be bankrupted would be those same ignorant republican voters that think he just repealed it.
But I'm not that heartless.
Higher premiums and crappier plans for everyone!
