The Homa Files

What inference would you draw from the headline: “Americans split on health care repeal”.

Most folks would probably conclude that there’s a 50/50 split between people who want to keep ObamaCare and people who want to trash it.

Not so fast.

The numbers …

37% said they want to repeal it completely.

36% said they want to revise the law so it does more to change the health care system.

10 % wanted modifications to narrow its scope

15% said they would leave the overhaul as it is.

I guess the  “even split” is between folks who want to repeal the bill entirely and those who want to substantially change it.

Strikes me as a releatively narrow difference.

I think the headline should have read “Only 15% favor ObamaCare”.

But — unlike the AP — I’m biased.
