Americans are still divided on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, with 36 percent pushing for its repeal and 21 percent hoping it remains as is, according to poll results from Harris Interactive/HealthDay.
Another 25 percent of adults polled want only certain elements of the law modified. There was a larger gap between Republican and Democrat respondents, with 63 percent of Republicans wanting the law repealed compared to 9 percent of Democrats.
Some major provisions of the law have gained more support since November 2010. These include provisions allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance plans until they turn 26, creating insurance exchanges, providing tax credits to small businesses to help pay for employees' insurance and requiring research to measure the effectiveness of different medical treatments.
On the other hand, the individual mandate remains unpopular. Only 19 percent of those polled support it.
The poll was conducted online from Jan. 17-19 with 2,415 adults.
