Polling: Public Wants States to Use Federal Funds to Cover Uninsured Through Medicaid

http://www.acscan.org/content/media-center/medicaid-poll/

this is an important article that shows that given the right info the public supports provisions of obamacare

what mystifies me are findings by acscan and focus groups that show that when explained the public supports ACA and yet we have not done more to communicate with the public. the key players in the field, the white house, congress, and other key orgs have not done enough.  I think acscan's findings need wide exposure.  thoughts about how to engage more of these key players.  my guess is the white house felt it was better not to pay much attention to the issue during the campaign, obama did discuss some of the key points in ACA and did address medicare to some extent.  perhaps in 2014, press about those provisions being implemented will get more attention which will help.  I hope that someone will develop a strategic plan on how to get the most mileage from the 2014 changes which start taking place when the HIEs and medicaid start to promote their programs probably sometime before october.
