Despite saturation coverage and most expensive outreach in history, most people still don't know about the ObamaCare mandate

Endless tax dollars spent, celebrity appearances too numerous to count, and saturation media coverage for the better part of a year, The Hill cites polling that claims "the vast majority of uninsured Americans do not know they must sign up for health insurance by March 31 or pay a fine."



The finding underscores the serious challenge facing the Obama administration as it seeks to sign up millions more patients for private plans by the end of next month. 

The public has always had a weak grasp of ObamaCare's provisions, but the administration's tendency to shift deadlines has added to confusion about when patients must act to gain coverage. 

Nearly two-thirds of the uninsured said they know only a little (37 percent) or nothing at all (26 percent) about the new marketplaces designed to make it easier to shop for health plans. 

Perceptions of the Affordable Care Act have been trending negative among people without health insurance since February. Tuesday's poll found that 56 percent now view the law unfavorably while 22 percent view it favorably.



Remember when Barack Obama and the rest of these con artists shoved their stupid law down our throats by screaming about the tens of millions of suffering uninsured-Americans who were just clamoring for a chance to get some coverage?  

ObamaCare critics have, once again, been proven* absolutely correct* in calling out the lies Democrats told about the size and composition of the uninsured population.  It was never anywhere near as large as Democrats pretended.  Many of the people counted in the more fanciful propaganda claims were illegal aliens, who are not (presently) eligible for enrollment in ObamaCare.  Many other uninsured people preferred not to pay for insurance, and nothing about ObamaCare has changed their minds. 

As for the individual mandate, this polling fits into my sense that an awful lot of people don't understand what it really means, because the Democrat con artists didn't want their low-information suckers to understand how radically the relationship between Americans and their governments has changed.  Yes, kids, you're going to get taxed good and hard for failing to purchase a product, as ordered by your rulers.  It's not the same country it was in 2008, and you are not the same free citizens you once were.

I suspect some of these remarkably high levels of ignorance are deliberate, i.e. people who don't want to know about the individual mandate, who hope they may yet slip through the system somehow.  And I'll bet some of them are so confused by King Barack's illegal changes to the law that they believe their mandates have been waived by royal command as well.  Once again, sorry kids, but no.  Obama's illegal waivers are for the Ruling Class and its business and union allies, not the Little Guy.
