I had a conversation with my neighbor, a staunch Republican, about eye exams after she had taken both of her kids to get checked and was dismayed over the cost of the exams. She seemed surprised when I mentioned that nearly all insurance plans are required to cover vision tests for children due to provisions in the ACA.

She didn't know what the ACA was, which kind of surprised me, but she definitely knew what "ObamaCare" was and changed the subject after realizing that she had wasted money on screenings because she assumed that she had no vision coverage.

It astounded me how many people hated "ObamaCare" but had positive views of the Affordable Care Act. Even today I think that it would be political suicide to repeal the ACA.
