Republicans favor a more competitive environment for healthcare, rather than a government-run system. While many Democrats tout such a system as being able to bring low-cost healthcare to low-income people, Republicans said lifting restrictions on insurance would be more beneficial for everyone.
Currently, regulations stipulate that the nation's thousands of health insurers are not allowed to compete in states where they don't have a physical office.
Other Republicans -- and many Americans -- are wary of what they see as a government power grab, with the state, rather than the free market, controlling what kind of healthcare citizens receive.
When asked about repealing Obamacare, 51 percent of Americans said they favor repealing it, while 45 percent said they oppose repealing it, Gallup found.
When asked about keeping Obama's healthcare law in place, 48 percent said they favor keeping it, compared with 49 percent who said they oppose keeping it, Gallup found.
Americans' main concerns about healthcare in the country today are its cost and accessibility, a shift from decades ago when the public told Gallup that the most urgent health problems facing the nation were diseases, Gallup found.
Obamacare, official known as The Affordable Care Act was designed, in large part, to address the minority of the population without healthcare coverage, Gallup noted. The uninsured percentage in the U.S. has fallen significantly since Obamacare was implemented.
