Uninsured Skeptical of Health Care Law in Poll
Keywords:
About 53% of the uninsured Americans disapprove of the Obama health care law, in comparison to 51% of the insured with health care coverage who disapprove of the new law. About 35% of the uninsured say they are likely to pay the penalty for not carrying insurance, and six of ten uninsured say it will make their health better. Overall the approval of the law is at 39% and disapproval at 50% in the Dec. 2013 poll. A striking part of the poll result is that 57% of the uninsured say it will increase their health care costs, compared to 52% of the insured. Only 20% say it will decrease their health care costs. This reflects the lack of serious controls on the surge in healthcare spending in the law. A separate research shows that more of the costs are passed on to users who will pay higher out-of-pocket costs after the law.
The uninsured in the U.S. and the Affordable Care Act (Obama healthcare law)
09/17/2010
About 53% of the uninsured showed disapproval of the law, compared to 51% of the insured in a CBS/New York Times poll in Dec. 2013. About a third of the uninsured say it will help them personally, and about a third of the uninsured say the cost will hurt them personally. Six out ten uninsured still think it will make their health better, a third say they will likely pay the penalty for not carrying insurance. For a law designed to help the unisured this shows some serious shortcomings in the law in the way cost issues were addressed, including the rising cost of healthcare in the U.S.

Coverage for the 10-12 million people who buy medical insurance on their own under the Affordable Health Care Act (Obama Healthcare Law)
10/29/2013
These people have to sign up for new plans in 2013 compared to the about 149 million people who have employer coverage and do not have to change their plans. Under the new law people cannot be denied coverage for preexisting conditions and people with lower income will get subsidies for their premiums so they will benefit. Benefits are also more broader and more generous. To pay for this insurance companies are charging others higher premiums.

The Obama U.S. health care law, the Affordable Care Act of 2012, and public support- 2012-2017
03/23/2012
An average of major public opinion polls compiled by Real Clear Politics website shows 50.5% of Americans opposed the U.S. health care law in March 2012. By 2017 with high premiums and high deductibles the Obama Affordable Care Act was not seen by middle class as the solution to healthcare needs, though it helped the uninsured and the poor with subsidies. The Republican plan of Speaker Ryan and the House was seen as not sensitive to the needs of low income older Americans even as it sought to bring down premiums. As one middle class American, Mr. Riffle, in a 2017 survey by the Washington Post put it- the problem was the high cost of medical care in the U.S. and pricing of healthcare, until members of Congress used the plans on the insurance exchanges not much would happen to benefit most people.

09/17/2010
For uninsured young people earning about 17,000 the law provides deductibles as low as $100 and premiums of about $50 a month because of federal subsidies. For uninsured young people earning about $29,000 the deductible is about $6300 and the premiums higher at about $147, making it easier to pay the federal penalty of $150 for not carrying insurance in 2016 and buying insurance in later years as the penalty goes up to $325.

The Affordable Care Act (Obama Health Care Law) and the increasing number of people who may lose employer coverage
06/16/2011
Under the Obama healthcare law (Obamacare) businesses can opt to pay a fine of $2000 instead of providing coverage. The people losing coverage are then put in an exchange where they can buy insurance, with those whose premiums are more than 9.5% of income receiving subsidies. The incentive for employers to pay the fine and dump workers on the exchange can put 11 million to 80 million additional people on the exchange. The cost of the Obama health care law would rise significantly as a result.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
