One-third of uninsured Americans plan to remain uninsured

Published 2 Min Read

Despite the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that most Americans obtain insurance or pay a fine, one-third of the uninsured plan to remain without insurance, according to a new survey from Bankrate.com.

Of those who plan to remain uninsured, 41% choose to do so because they think health insurance is too costly. However, 70% of the uninsured did not know about the subsidies Obamacare provides based on income.
