Though repealing President Obama's healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, has long been a hallmark goal of Congressional Republicans, and though it's being contested in courts throughout the nation, the law itself still stands strong.

According to a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 22 percent of people believe the healthcare law, the biggest feather in Obama's cap thus far, has been repealed, while another 26 percent say they don't know enough to say whether it's still a law.
