3. What percentage?

It's just that the population to which you belong (amongst voters likely to vote democratic) isn't all that large. I don't see where the significant gains are to be made among the larger population referenced considering the fact that people already don't appreciate that liberals gave them medicare.

26 year olds that are already on Daddy's policy, that stay on 1 more year will barely notice.
The guy that got insurance when he got a job doesn't know that 2 years prior, the company wasn't offering it.
The guy that now is getting medicaid, doesn't know that 2 years ago he wouldn't have qualified.
The person that develops a "pre-existing condition" won't understand that 2 years ago that would have been disasterous.

These people SHOULD understand, but I'm dubious that the vast majority of them WILL understand in any politically significant way.
