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. ---

> [@jasg](#): > > Ten [questions](http://healthreform.kff.org/quizzes/health-reform-quiz.aspx) about the PPACA. 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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

10/10 It seemed like a lot of softball questions to get the participant invested in reading their spin. ---

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. Considering the source of the quiz, the right answers were obvious (I knew them anyway). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-did-you-do-on-this-simple-quiz/627250.md?page=2)
