Ten questions about the PPACA.
8/10, and I am utterly clueless about what’s going on in health care. I know there’s a big kerfluffle, that’s about it.
9/10, despite knowing almost none of the specifics of the plan. I guessed the answers based on it pretty much being a recycled Republican health-care plan.
10/10, Just guessed the way I hoped it would work
10/10.
No one is more suprised than me.
9/10. The one I missed: “4. Will the health reform law expand the existing Medicaid program to cover low-income, uninsured adults regardless of whether they have children?”
Was that the part that was struck down by the supreme court?
Yup. Or, to be a bit more precise, each state will decide whether or not they want to expand Medicaid. The bit which forced states to do this was struck down.
10/10
7 out of 10. WooHoo!
woo hoo! 10/10. If I heard it on Fox I guessed the opposite!
I did not know about the tax credits for small businesses offering health insurance though.
Looking for opinions? MOved from General Questions to IMHO.

It seemed like a lot of softball questions to get the participant invested in reading their spin.
Same here, more or less (with a nod to political expediency on the topic of “illegal immigrants”)
10/10. But I have been following it rather closely.

9/10. I missed number 4 because I didn’t know if those people were going to be covered specifically through an expansion of Medicaid. It could have been through another scheme instead.
I haven’t been paying much attention and am Canadian so have no skin in this. Most of my answers were deductions. It’s disappointing that I did better than 97% of Americans.
Emtar, I can see how it would be softball questions. The percentages of Americans who accurately answered the questions would be a lie, then?
9/10 and I haven’t been following the issue at all. I’m not American and don’t live there. Some of the questions were worded in a way that made the answers obvious and others just made sense.
The one I got wrong was the first question. I assumed there would be ramifications for not taking out health insurance, but I’m surprised it’s a fine - I was thinking maybe an additional tax levy or something.
It is, according to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
10/10. Just good guesses on most of them
10/10. Considering the source of the quiz, the right answers were obvious (I knew them anyway).
