Should We Keep the Affordable Care Act—or Parts of It?

This week, the House passed a bill to repeal the nation's Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as "Obamacare."

The vote was 244-185, with five Democrats siding with the Republican majority. The vote marked the 33rd time since 2010, when the law was enacted, that there was a move to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program.

Analysts project that there is little chance the repeal vote will pass in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Opinions on whether to keep the bill or repeal it have been very split, although some people and politicians favor keeping portions of the law in effect, such as allowing children to remain on a parent's policy until age 26 and providing coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.

So, take our poll. Do you think the Affordable Care Act should remain as is, be repealed in its entirety or should portions of the act be retained?
