The September 2017 Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds large majorities across all parties say reauthorizing funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is an important precedence for Congress; however,a larger share of Republicans also say it is important for Congress to work on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). Overall views of the ACA are once again divided, with 46 percent expressing a favorable view and 44 percent expressing an unfavorable view. Half the public believes ACA marketplaces are collapsing, and two-thirds of the public say Congress should guarantee cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments to stabilize the insurance market. This month's Kaiser Health Tracking Poll also examines public support for a variety of competing health care policies aimed at improving or replacing the 2010 health care law,including single-payer.
