CBS News Poll: Uninsured Americans Remain Skeptical About ObamaCare

‘I’d rather pay the fine than spend a lot of money and have a health care plan that really isn’t going to do much for me’

CBS: Uninsured Americans Still Skeptical About Obamacare (Washington Free Beacon)

With the deadline for uninsured Americans to purchase coverage by Monday under Obamacare, CBS This Morning reported Wednesday that skepticism about the law is rampant with the public.

Among those who the law was presumably designed to help, the uninsured, White House correspondent Major Garrett said, “Impressions of the law itself remain negative.”

A new CBS News / New York Times poll found 34 percent believe the law will hurt them personally, while only 16 percent thought it would help, and among the uninsured, 37 percent felt Obamacare would hurt them against 33 percent thinking it would help.
