Millions still uninsured as Obamacare deadline looms

Many just don't know much about the health-care overhaul or its March 31 deadline for signing up for coverage, researchers say.

Only one-fourth of the uninsured in the U.S. had tried to sign up through the state or federal insurance marketplaces by late January, according to a poll. Millions still lack coverage as the March 31 deadline approaches.


Millions of people in the U.S. will remain uninsured despite this week’s final, frenzied push to sign them up under the health law.

Across the country, many uninsured people just don’t know much about the health overhaul and its March 31 deadline for enrolling in plans that can yield big discounts, researchers say.

An AP-GfK poll found only one-fourth of the uninsured had tried to sign up through the state or federal insurance marketplaces by late January.

At a minimum of a $500 per person penalty, we aught to reap a windfall in new tax revenue in 2015. Unless Obama does what the TEA party wanted him to do back in October 2012, and delay enforcement of the personal mandate penalty.
