Kaiser Poll: Uninsured Skeptical About Whether ObamaCare Will Help Them

Friday, September 02, 2011

While Washington elites made numerous promises about the benefits of ObamaCare, particularly in regards to the uninsured, the uninsured remain rightfully skeptical about the benefits of the law.  According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, "half (47%) of the uninsured do not expect to be affected at all by the health reform law.... [and 14%] expect to be hurt by the law, mainly because they worry they will be required to buy coverage they cannot afford."

Additionally, "public opinion about the ACA once again remains largely unchanged. Thirty-nine percent of Americans say they have a favorable view of the law, 44 percent have an unfavorable one and another 17 percent don’t know enough to register an opinion."
